[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (DERBY-3966) Do not require JRE 1.4 libraries at compile time since SUN's JDK 1.4 went out of support and can be used on JRE 1.4 without any problem

Attaching derby-3966-02-aa-buildTools.diff. This patch changes the build to use the Java 5 libraries instead of the jdk1.4 libraries when compiling the build tools used by later stages of the Derby build. The classes are still compiled into 1.4 byte code. This change should only affect the Derby build process itself and not the actual product jar files.

This change is the recommended workaround for the fact that our javadoc-building tools rely on Sun-supplied Taglet classes. This issue was discussed in the following email thread:

  http://www.nabble.com/Sun-classes-imported-by-Derby-code-td17566526.html

Unless someone objects, I'm inclined to check this patch in soon.

Touches the following file:

M      java/build/org/apache/derbyBuild/build.xml
