Re: [cdt-dev] CDT and Java 1.6

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

There were known bugs in 1.6 update 23 and 1.6 update 24. However, 1.6u25 and onwards solved that particular problem. I haven't seen any problems since.

This is the Sun bug report:

It notes that a fix was delivered in 6u25 and 7b123. However, I think it's

That bug talks about 1.7, no? I don’t go anywhere near 1.7. The quality has been horrible.

The latest java 6 is fine. IT was just updates 23 and 24 I believe.

Considering that Java 6 will crash in some cases while JIT compiling some CDT code, I prefer not to go to Java 6.

Alternatively the CDT code can easily be refactored to prevent the ( known) JVM  crash.

 

My two cents.

CDT now requires Java 1.6.

I've never felt a very strong urge to go to 1.6, but I personally don't mind.

String.isEmpty() and @Override for interface would be nice.

Are there any objections against introducing dependency on Java 1.6 in CDT 9? The reasons for introducing the dependency are: String.isEmpty() method, Deque insterface, @Override annotations for implemented interface methods.
