forcing target="1.2"
Is there any reason why we have the target="${target.vm}" for compiling
the class files?
I find that if you just force the target VM to target="1.2", the class
file format will work with any JDK 1.2+ JVM. That is what we do with
Avalon, and it seems to work.
Forcing target="1.2" does not limit the libraries you can use, it just
ensures that serializable classes are serialized the same way, and new
java bytecode operands are not available.
I just compiled Cocoon on JDK 1.4, but with -Dtarget.vm=1.2 on the
command line. It still works in JDK 1.4, and I am getting ready to
test it for JDK 1.3. I expect no problems.

RE: forcing target="1.2"
Posted by Carsten Ziegeler <cz...@s-und-n.de>.
We could force target="1.2", but as we have different versions for jdk 1.2+
and jdk 1.4 because of the sql problems, why not using target="1.4" for
a jdk 1.4 build?
