Description

When I try to run maven allBuild to build jetspeed, it fails with message:

java:compile:
[echo] Compiling to D:\java\src\portals-jetspeed-2.1.3-dev\components\rdbms/target/classes
[javac] Compiling 13 source files to D:\java\src\portals-jetspeed-2.1.3-

dev\components\rdbms\target\classes
[javac] D:\java\src\portals-jetspeed-2.1.3-

dev\components\rdbms\src\java\org\apache\jetspeed\components\rdbms\ojb\ConnectionRepositoryEntry.java:411:

.apache.jetspeed.components.rdbms.ojb.ConnectionRepositoryEntry.MinimalDataSource is not abstract and does

not override abstract method isWrapperFor(java.lan
g.Class) in java.sql.Wrapper
[javac] private class MinimalDataSource implements DataSource
[javac] ^
[javac] 1 error

This error raises because javax.sql.DataSource in JDK1.6 become to implement java.sql.Wrapper interface. But java5 doesn't implement it.

So, I think, jetspeed developers have to implement isWrapperFor method for MinimalDataSource class, and tries to build jetspeed with JDK1.6.

P.S.: I think, this is a bad practice to implement new interfaces in public classes and interfaces. I really can't understand, why Sun has did it...
