Description Carl Anderson CLA 2010-05-04 10:15:41 EDT 
In bug 252613, we added in the various Java EE 6 facets.  All of them currently have the following line in their Java EE 6 version definition:

<requires facet="jst.java" version="[5.0"/>

The Java EE version should match the Java version.  (Java Enterprise Edition 6 is Java 6 Standard Edition plus Enterprise Edition support.)

    * Explain why you believe this is a stop-ship defect. Or, if it is a "hotbug" (requested by an adopter) please document it as such. 

This is not a stop-ship defect, but users can easily end up with Java EE 6 projects created with Java 5 facets. Since Java EE 6 require Java 6 (because some of the Java EE libraries moved down to Java SE), then this can result in missing Java EE libraries in the project's classpath. 

    * Is there a work-around? If so, why do you believe the work-around is insufficient? 

The workaround is that users change the Java facet version from 5 to 6 during the project creation. But this is not an obvious thing for the general user. 

    * How has the fix been tested? Is there a test case attached to the bugzilla record? Has a JUnit Test been added? 

Manually tested. The validation of the facet framework shows error if the constraint is not satisfied. 

    * Give a brief technical overview. Who has reviewed this fix? 

Changed is the minimum required version of the jst.java facet from 5.0 to 6.0 for the Java EE 6 facets. This is a change done completely in the plugin.xml descriptors. 

    * What is the risk associated with this fix? 

No risk.
