[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-6236) Remove references to old JVMs
(pre-Java 6) from the user guides
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13890978#comment-13890978 ]
Kim Haase commented on DERBY-6236:
----------------------------------
Here's a question. The topic http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/adminguide/radminjmxenabledisable.html says that on Java SE 6 and above, "local JMX management and monitoring are most likely enabled by default" but that "Some JVMs, for example Java SE 5 JVMs, do not enable local JMX management by default."
Are there actually any JVMs at 6 and above that don't enable JMX by default? Another topic, http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/adminguide/radminjmxjconsole.html, states categorically that "When you use Java SE 6 or later, local JMX access is enabled by default." If that is the case, I can just state that it's enabled by default.

> Assignee: Kim Haase

> DERBY-6213 removed support for Java 5 and CDC. We need to scour references to these platforms from our user documentation. This includes scouring references to JDBC 3.0 and JSR 169. Changes include the following:
> -------- Admin Guide -------------
> o "Differences in JDBC 3.0 methods": The section should be renamed to "Differences in JDBC methods" and references to JDBC 3.0 should be removed from its text.
> -------- Developer's Guide -------------
> o "Derby and Java Virtual Machines (JVMs)": the lowest supported JVM level should be changed from 5 to 6.
> -------- Getting Started Guide -------------
> o "System requirements": the lowest supported JVM level should be changed from 5 to 6.
> o"Verifying the Derby system configuration": bullet 1, references to Java version 5 should be changed to 6.
> o "Self-study tutorial for users new to Derby": references to JDK version 5 should be changed to 6.
> -------- Reference Guide -------------
> o "JDBC reference": Change "JDBC 3.0 and 4.0 APIs" -> "JDBC API"
> o "java.sql.Driver interface": This section gives instructions on how to load the JDBC driver if you are running on an old (pre-Java 6) JVM. The section is almost vacuous now. It can be collapsed to the following summary:
> "The class that loads Derby's local JDBC driver is the class org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver. The class that loads Derby's network client driver is the class org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver."
> o "JDBC Package for Connected Device Configuration/Foundation Profile (JSR 169)": Remove this section.
> o "Features supported on all JDBC 4 releases": This section should be removed and its material should be merged into the preceding sections.
> o "DataSource classes": The following changes should be made.
> "Embedded environment, for applications running on JDK 5 or higher and using JDBC 3 and JDBC 4.0 methods:" -> "Embedded environment, for applications running on Java 6 or higher:"
> Remove the following paragraph and the list of *40 DataSources which it introduces:
> "Embedded environment, for applications running on JDK 6 or higher and using methods specific to JDBC 4.1 or JDBC 4.2:"
> "Client-server environment, for applications running on JDK 5 or higher and using JDBC 3 and JDBC 4.0 methods:" -> "Client-server environment, for applications running on Java 6 or higher:"
> Remove the following paragraph and the list of *40 DataSources which it introduces:
> "Client-server environment, for applications running on JDK 6 or higher and using methods specific to JDBC 4.1 or JDBC 4.2:"
> -------- Tools Guide -------------
> o "Environment setup and the Derby tools": The minimum Java level is 6, not 5.
