[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5938) Documentation says Derby works with
Java 1.4.2
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5938?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13463790#comment-13463790 ]
Kim Haase commented on DERBY-5938:
----------------------------------
Thanks for tracking all those occurrences of 1.4 down, Knut. I'll make sure to catch any others.
Maybe we need another docs.properties variable, something like min.jdk, so that any needed backporting wouldn't create inaccurate information. I think we'd have to add another filter to the filterset in the preprocess-copy target of the build.xml file as well. Does this make sense? It might simplify matters going forward.

> The documentation says that Derby works with Java 1.4.2. This is not true on trunk, as support for Java 1.4.2 is removed for Derby 10.10. A quick search came up with these places that need change:
> * Getting started guide:
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/tgssetupverify.html
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/cgstutorialintro.html
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/tgssetupjavaenvir.html
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/cgsintsr.html
> Need to change the above topics to say that you need JDK 1.5 or later installed to run the examples.
> * Developer's guide:
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/devguide/rdevconcepts713.html
> The cell for the combination Multi-User/Embedded mentions potential multi-boot problems in pre-1.4 JVMs. Derby doesn't run on pre-1.4 JVMs anymore (and hasn't done for a long time). However, the multi-boot problem is present on CDC/FP 1.1, which is still a supported platform, so maybe we should change "pre-1.4" to "J2ME" (or however we usually refer to that platform in the docs).
> * Admin guide:
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/adminguide/cadminappsthenetworkserverandjvms.html
> Should say that the server is compatible with Java 5 and above.
> * Tools guide:
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/tools/ctools1003034.html
> Although it's technically correct that the tools do run on Java 1.4, it's not possible to access a Derby database with them on Java 1.4 in any supported way (unsupported way: use derbytools.jar from 10.10 and derby.jar from 10.9). So we should change this topic to say Java 5 and above, perhaps also mentioning CDC/Foundation Profile 1.1.
