Re: [ormf-dev] Should we change our JVM requirement to Java 6

I don't think that actually adds anything new. Cocoa is on the 3.5 train. If I missed something please let me know.

Thanks,
Joel

Just for your information, Steve Northover seems to believe that the Cocoa port will be available in the foreseeable future: http://inside-swt.blogspot.com/2008/09/back-to-work.html

It appears that this is not going to fly. I forgot that OS X still does not have a 32-bit Java 6 (only the 64-bit) and SWT on OS X is tied to the 32-bit implementation. This is because SWT on OS X is built on top of Carbon which is pure 32-bit. So until OS X SWT moves over to Cocoa or someone delivers a 32-bit Java 6 for OS X we are stuck with Java 5. Neither are likely to happen soon :-( Apple is being as slow as molasses with Java 6 and the Eclipse SWT team is in early stages for Cocoa support with guesses being Eclipse 3.5 for release. Btw, I have tried SoyaLatte (OpenJDK) with no joy. Even if it did work I would not be terribly comfortable with requiring all ORMF users on the Mac to be required to use it. Sorry but I do not think that we should give up the Mac community over this issues.
So I vote: -1
:-(

Also a +1 for Java6.

Subject: [ormf-dev] Should we change our JVM requirement to Java 6

We have a several problematic CQs because of our usage of JAX-WS 2.0 when running under Java 5. Seeing as JAX--WS comes out of the box with Java 6, if we moved our minimum JVM to 6 these could all be dropped. We still have to find a work around to the Java 6 bug 6741342 <http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do? bug_id=6741342> that is the root of our issue number 240579 <https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/process_bug.cgi >, but this must be addressed as a matter of priority in any case.

Both Barbara and I are in favour of this move. Does anyone have any considerations?

Joel
