["Marcel Offermans (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-301?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marcel Offermans closed ACE-301.
--------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Christian, I had some time today and took a look myself. Tuomas' suggestion of using a newer version for osgi.core has already been implemented and with that all the problems have been gone. Like Bram, I can build ACE with Java 7.

>                 Key: ACE-301
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-301
>             Project: ACE
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Build
>         Environment: eclipse with jdk 1.7.0_07
> windows with jdk 1.6.0_33
> ant 1.8.x
>            Reporter: Tuomas Kiviaho
>            Assignee: Marcel Offermans
>            Priority: Minor

> I'm new to ACE and BndTools and found out that building of the project from trunk required a bit more steps than what was documented on getting started.
> *Command line build*
> ANT build process goes as far as deployment verifier with the environment specified in this issue. Then you start getting error like below.
> {code}
> [javac] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.5
> [javac] src\org\apache\ace\deployment\verifier\impl\VerifyEnvironmentImpl.java:125: error: type ServiceReference does not take parameters
> [javac]         public ServiceReference<?>[] getRegisteredServices() {
> [javac]                                ^
> {code}
> osgi.core;version=4.3.0.201102171602 used in deployment verifier isn't compatible with jdk7 (it's compiled with JSR14 flag). You might want to consider using 4.3.1.201210102023 from maven central which is intended to fix this.
> *Eclipse with Bndtools*
> Everything works fine until after you've created distributable archive and try to run it using the provided shell script using the environment specified in this issue.
> {code}
>  java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/apache/ace/configurator/Activator : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
> {code}
> I suggest that getting started guide would include steps for configuring JDT which I believe was previously provided automatically by M2Eclipse. I also noticed that defaults.bnd contains javac.source/target as 1.5 which I believe should be 1.6.
