Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Strategy for ensuring 1.5 API compatibility on OS X?
|
Thanks Pascal, that's perfect. Now I get an error when I try to do something that's only supported in 1.6. For other people wanting to set this up you have to:
1. Setup the API analysis builder and natures for your projects as well as project specific settings naturally -- which seems to be evolving into a best practice anyway.
2. Under Pascal's link, I have "Invalid references to System Libraries".
3. The first time you turn this on you'll need to configure the system libraries.
a) Update site: The Eclipse Project Updates - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7
b) Add PDE/API Tools Environment Descriptions

It's a pain in the neck because OSX doesn't provide a 1.5 JDK to build against. There are a number of byzantine work-arounds (e.g. see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3762854/detecting-non-1-5-java-code-while-developing-on-a-mac-under-1-6) which seem to me to be more trouble then they are worth. I'm inclined to punt this issue to the build server as it should be protecting against this sort of thing anyway. But I'm wondering if there is anyway to handle this with the API tools or what other Mac committer's practices are.
