JOrphan?

[kc...@360commerce.com]

I just upgraded from JMeter 1.7.3 to 1.8.  I had been using Sun's Java 1.3.1,
but when I tried using it with JMeter 1.8, I got:

   java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException:
   java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/jorphan/test/UnitTestManager
   (Unsupported major.minor version 48.0)

Upgrading to Sun's Java 1.4 enabled me to use JMeter 1.8.

I'm curious about what JOrphan is and what it does for us.  When I tried a
search on Google, the only thing I found that I could read was a comic book
about "Jimmy Olsen - Orphan!"  It's interesting that he got amnesia and forgot
that he was Superman's friend, but they never revealed his load testing
strategy.

It would be nice if JMeter was usable on Jave versions less than 1.4.  Would it
be difficult to remove the JOrphan dependencies?

The docs have been upgraded to indicate that JDK 1.4 and above is required for JMeter now.  
JOrphan is just a bunch of classes that are independent of any other classes, and I have 
factored them out of the JMeter org.apache.jmeter.* structure and into their own.  I grew tired 
of copy/pasting these highly useful classes amongst all my different projects.  The source 
code for jorphan will live someplace on Sourceforge, once I can arrange it.

I don't see any great advantage to making things work with JDK1.3 (it's not just the jorphan 
libs).  JDK1.4 is available, it's free, and it's got a lot of nice features.  Plus, JMeter is a client 
app - it makes no difference what it runs on in relation to the server app you're testing.  

And hush! I haven't even announcedd 1.8 yet.  Let me know how it works for you :-)
