Moving to Java 1.6 for a future JMeter release?

JMeter currently targets Java 1.5 (but will of course run on Java 1.6+).

At some point it might be useful to require Java 1.6 as the minimum
version, as it does offer some useful enhancements.

Would requiring Java 1.6 cause a problem for any JMeter users?

It seems unlikely, as JMeter should be run on a different host from
the system under test; i.e. the change won't require a change to
existing applications.

But if there are good reasons why JMeter should stick with Java 1.5
rather than moving to Java 1.6, please let us know.

Ant build script can already compiled JMeter with a Java 1.6 JDK.
But some properties / links must be update (target.java.version for example)

I can do this too if you want.

I can update Jenkins.
Not sure if Gump and Buildbot will need updating, but I can probably
do them if necessary.

We would also need to add @Override tags to all interface
implementations to avoid the warnings.
I think that's the biggest change but Eclipse can help.

There are one or two places where using Java 1.6 will allow code to be
simplified; we can fix those as we go along.

Hello,
A new argument , it is Blocker to fix issue :

   - https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46677


If it was to be accepted , what would be the steps:

   - Upgrade build script
   - Update docs
   - Upgrade Jenkins  setup ? who can do that ?

Hello,
I see one other case where JDK6 would be nice.
When you want to use Groovy with JSR223 sampler, you have to add a
groovy-engine which is now hard to find.

Hello,
I see  one straight case in webservice sampler.
Wsdl could be loaded in à swingworker to avoid blocking gui when wsdl takes

I remember we had an issue on this opened 15 days ago.
Same for drag and drop Enhancements which we workaround with more code.

The +1 votes aren't relevant here; however the lack of -1 votes is relevant.

Since there have been no objections to the move to 1.6, we can start
using it when it becomes necessary to do so.

Hello,

No conclusion for move JMeter on target Java 1.6?

With 4 votes "+", I thinks we can start to use Java 1.6 API ?

Hello,

I'm agree. There isn't any reason to keep Java 5 compliance (which no
longer supported by Oracle/Sun).

 Since the automatic JAVA update process is installed alongside JVM on the
Jmeter workstations as opposed to the SUT hosts, there may actually be no
good reason to limit Jmeter to EOL JAVA versions.

Experience suggests that it can be absolutely amazing how many people
continue to use obsolete versions of Java.

That said, I also vote +1 for requiring Java 1.6. Unless you're
developing for JMeter, then you just need the JVM to run the app, and
the only possible hindrance to an upgrade is the availability of the
newer version on your platform. Conceivably, someone's plugin might
encounter compatibility problems under a new version, but that's
unlikely and it shouldn't hold the JMeter project back.


Best,
Geoff

Is anyone running JMeter tests using Java SE 5?

JMeter should move to Java SE 6, and officially supported to run with Java
SE 7

Hi Sebb,

I'm not sure what HP is up to w.r.t Java. It used to be that they took the Sun source, juiced it up a wee bit and.... Maybe Donald can comment, if not directly to the list but to either you or myself which we can repost.

And Donald, before you object to the lateness comment, no, it wasn't Oracle's fault ;-), Oracle delivered perfectly on their projected schedule for which we are thankful!

BTW, there are currently no versions of Java 7 for some other OSes,
including OpenVMS (HP).

1.6 is soon to be EOL. My guess is (and we can ask Donald Smith from Oracle) the only thing keeping 1.6 from being EOL'ed is the lateness of the 1.7 and the fact that the Mac port has still not been GA'ed.

+1 for  java 1.6.

However what version of 1.6 remains to be seen. On some unix distributions,
on solaris, the version is not updated as often as on windows.

For me the latest stable version is ok, the upper versions of 1.6 and the
1.7 have some very interesting features.
