IBM VM reports 1.4.2 support instead of 1.5
For now, IBM VM reports in system properties
java.specification.version=1.4
java.version=1.4.2 subset
while the VM supports 1.5 pretty well.
As a result, for example, Netbeans fails to start many of its components
with the following diagnostic:
"The Java platform version 1.5 or higher was requested but only 1.4 is
running."
I wonder, if this could be fixed?

Hi, Zakharov:
Thank you for the advice.
To give a patch to solve it is a common method of Harmony project.
But
now the System class is part of the kernel classes which is implemented
by
VM vendors.
So, the official fix will be given by the new release of IBM VME.
Besides there are other similar problems that the system properties are
not
compatible with RI, which lead to problems in applications. I will
report
them to those responsible for it and watch the progress.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Hi Leo,
Well, a patched System.class sounds like a good workaround, thank you
very much.
It's not so urgent, so please don't worry and have good holidays. :)
Thank you!
Vasily

Hi, Zakharov:
Currently IBM VME's property does claim that it only support 1.4,
but I
believe it will be fixed in the next release.
If it is urgent, I can give you a System.class which works around
it. But excuse me for needing several days, since the code is in my
office
and I am having Chinese New year.:)
Good luck!

We can fix this in the next VME release. In the meantime you can
workaround it using
java -Djava.specification.version=1.5 -Djava.version=1.5 foobar
