[jira] [Commented] (ISIS-568) Drop support for JDK 1.6, standardize on JDK 1.7.

["Dan Haywood (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-568?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13799820#comment-13799820 ] 

Dan Haywood commented on ISIS-568:
----------------------------------

It turns out this isn't going to be that easy to do.

JDK 7 has a stricter verifier which ASM 3.x falls foul of.  This can be disabled with a compile flag, but that's a bit of a headache for Isis users.

ASM 3.x is used by cglib 2.x.

cglib 2.x is used by (a) our wrapper factory, (b) our isis-core-cglib-bytecode (nb: not required for JDO), and (c) for JMock (jmock-legacy, mocking out classes).

Of these, the last is probably the biggest headache.  We could either move away from JMock (see ISIS-569), or we could contribute back to JMock and help get that working with cglib 3.x.
