Ant on JDK 1.5
There are some interesting errors given here:
http://brutus.apache.org/gump/jdk15/ant/bootstrap-ant/gump_work/buildscript_ant_bootstrap-ant.html
Ought we be publishing these to the Ant dev community?
regards,
Adam

I have one thought for all: Because of the complexity, we ought use the
power of Brutus to use a brute force solution (pun intended), i.e. a few
Gump instances ... one for each of the important JDK releases. I think one
flavour of 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 is reasonable (but we've seen we have to be
1.4.2.whatever for that one).
We could try to get complicated and teach Gump different compilers, but I
think we'd get in an ugly pickle. That said, just like folks preferring a
given release of a dependency, we could work up to growing to that.
regards,
Adam

Questions; Will Gump use JDK1.5 by default later? Will it be possible
to tell Gump which version of the JDK to use for the build?
Things are getting increasingly complicated.
Avalon doesn't build with 1.5 (not yet anyway).
Avalon requires 1.3, and other projects 'promises' JDK 1.1, but Gump
doesn't validate that (I guess).
There are bytecode issues between compiler generations starting to
come into the picture as well.
Any thoughts about all of this?
Cheers
Niclas

Hmm, looks like an encoding issue on first glance, all the other
things are just warnings (and should go away in the "normal" Ant run
since we pass a proper -source argument here).
The problem is that Sun decided to change the defaults of -source and
-target between JDKs and we can't pass the argument to javac at all in
the bootstrap script unless we create separate bootstrap scripts for
JDK 1.2 (which doesn't know the arguments at all).

Won't hurt 8-)
