[jira] Updated: (DERBY-1271) Release documentation for JDBC4
release
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1271?page=all ]
Jean T. Anderson updated DERBY-1271:
------------------------------------
Attachment: derby1271-2.diff
derby1271-2-html.zip
I modified just 2 files (the summary page and one detail page) in the 10.2 doc branch to add a JDBC 4 notice. Here are the files to compare to:
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.2/ref/rrefjdbc4_0summary.html
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.2/ref/rrefjdbc4_0statement.html
derby1271-2.diff - patch to apply to the 10.2 doc branch
derby1271-2-html.zip - html for review
I tried to shorten the notice and here's what I came up with, and I think it would be good to shorten more:
JDBC 4.0 functionality is not enabled in this Derby release because JDBC 4.0 is part of Java SE 6, which was not generally available when the Derby release was produced. When Derby is used with a Java SE 6 virtual machine, JDBC 3.0 will be available. JDBC 4.0 will only be available to developers who download Java SE 6 and use it to add JDBC 4.0 support to Derby. The Release Notes provide details on how to build this optional JDBC 4.0 functionality, but the result might not be compatible with the final version of JDBC 4.0. When Java SE 6 becomes generally available a follow-on Derby release will include final JDBC 4.0 functionality.
Notes:
(1) I think it's helpful to link JDBC 4.0 to JDK 1.6 because I don't know how obvious that linkage is to users and developers out there.
(2) I put the notice in an "attention" section. I looked at the dita dtd source and these types are available:
note | tip | fastpath | restriction | important | remember| attention| caution | danger| other
Does "attention"work? wouldsome other format be better? If somebody dita-savvy can produce better format for one sample file, I'm happy to transfer to the files that need it.
Please wordsmith! Especially please suggest how it can be shortened -- I think it's too long.
thanks,

Ok, taking that and massaging...How about:
This release includes JDBC 4.0 functionality based on a pre-release of
Java SE 6. By default, when Derby is used with a Java SE 6 virtual
machine, JDBC 3.0 will be available. The Release Notes provide details
on how to build the optional JDBC 4.0 functionality after downloading
Java SE 6, but the result might not be compatible with the final
version of JDBC 4.0. When Java SE 6 becomes generally available a
subsequent Derby release will include support for the final JDBC 4.0.
functionality.

"provide details on" -> "explain"

truly, the notice looks lengthy in the html output. less is more.
