Build requires JDK 1.6 now - EmbeddedJSP plugin
Hi guys,
I may have missed the announcement, but it seems Java 1.6 is now
mandatory to perform a full build of Struts 2.1.8+
The EmbeddedJSP plugin's JSPLoader uses javax.tools.JavaCompiler that
is "Since 1.6" only.
If not deliberate, we may need a j5 profile in the build that excludes
that module (is that even possible?)
regards,
Jeromy Evans

Just trying to summarize:
- the default build should include everything (requires JDK 1.6 at
build time);
- if the JDK is only 1.5, the build should fail and (if possible)
instruct the developer to build using the j5 profile
- the j5 profile will exclude the EmbeddedJSP module
I don't actually know how to do that though.

Everything should be included in the default build. We can add a
profile to exclude the plugin from building, just like we did with
assembly.

If JDK6 is required to run, then I think two things should be done:
* A profile be created to build this plugin
* The maven-enforcer-plugin should enforce the use of at least JDK 1.6

Re: Build requires JDK 1.6 now - EmbeddedJSP plugin
Posted by Chris Pratt <th...@gmail.com>.
Yes, for the EmbeddedJSP plugin, it would require Java6+, but the rest of
Struts 2 (everything we have today) would work fine with Java 5. So I can't
really see a need for separate J5 and J6 releases. Noting that that single
plugin requires Java6 seems sufficient to me.

I guess that depends on whether;
"The EmbeddedJSP plugin's JSPLoader uses javax.tools.JavaCompiler that is "Since 1.6" only"
means used during the compile or used during runtime.

My opinion is to go J6 with a J5 optional package.
That way users can get as much as we can give them out of the box and if they really must only use J5 they can still do so.
We'll also have to make sure we don't use String.isEmpty :).

We could easily create a profile that doesn't include the embeddedjsp plugin
(and any other new modules that may require java 6). The real question is
whether we want to continue targeting Java 5 and exclude the Java 6 stuff by
default or vice versa? I'll go see if google can tell me about the lifespan of
Java 5.

I think the only effect to those 100's of products is that they can't use
the EmbeddedJSP plugin, which needs a feature that is only supplied with
Java 6+. Am I missing something other implication?

That's Sun's support expiration, which has very little, if anything,
to do with the lifespan of Java 5.
Large enterprises aren't going to switch to a new Java version just
because Sun stops supporting the one they're using. The company I work
for, for example, has hundreds of products (no, I'm not kidding) built
on Java 5. Switching to Java 6 or 7 will be a very large effort for
us, and not one we'll undertake lightly. And new products will still
be based on Java 5 for now, since that's what our platform is built on
today.
There were large incentives, in terms of new language features, that
encouraged people to move to Java 5, and even that migration took
several years. Java 6 didn't provide much in the way of significant
incentives, so many, many organisations simply didn't move. Many of
them will hold out and skip to Java 7, meaning that the lifespan of
Java 5 will be that much longer.

About 10 weeks. :)

We could easily create a profile that doesn't include the embeddedjsp plugin
(and any other new modules that may require java 6). The real question is
whether we want to continue targeting Java 5 and exclude the Java 6 stuff by
default or vice versa? I'll go see if google can tell me about the lifespan of
Java 5.
