Java 5 or 6 for G3.0, and 7
I know we recommend Java 6 for trunk (G3.0).
But are we now requiring it?
Or is Java 5 still supported?
If trunk still supports Java 5, is there a foreseable time when support for Java
5 will end?
G3 Wiki: Installing prerequisite softwares
https://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC30/installing-prerequisite-softwares.html
This doc states G3.0 is build on Java 6. It would make me assume Java 5 is not
supported.
I am wondering in the case that Java 7 is supposed to be released this year. Is
there a track to release G3.0 on Java 7, or will Java 7 be the target of a
future revision (e.g. G3.1)?

Good. I have the answer I was looking for.
Geronimo 3.0 is locked in to Java 1.6.
And G3.0 will be released with only support for Java 1.6.

Thanks!
Yes, we're definitely past the point where trunk has started to require Java 6...
With regard to Java 7 -- as Java 7 becomes available, I expect people will start to run/test/build with Java 7. As has happened in the past (with Java 5 and Java 6), we'll tolerate this, but not require Java 7... Not until we're looking at Java EE 7 support, anyway...

That is what I assumed.
But the build documentation suggests otherwise:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDEV/Building+Apache+Geronimo
"You will need a JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5.0+) ... Java 6 works with trunk and 2.2.
Earlier versions may have problems. Trunk is likely to require Java 6 soon."
I am going to update the page to make sure there is no confusion about the build
requirements.

Hi Russell,
javaee6 requires java 6 so if trunk compiles at all on java 5 that's a big surprise :-)
So far we haven't discussed java 7 at all.
thanks
