[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5485) Simplify PropertySetter so that it
is less brittle and easier to maintain.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5485?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13626810#comment-13626810 ]
Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5485:
--------------------------------------
Note that this issue is marked fixed in 10.9.1. Porting this fix to the 10.8 branch would probably be tricky because the 10.9 build changed in order to remove support for Java 1.4.

> The PropertySetter task sets up classpath variables so that the build can take advantage of JVM-specific class libraries. Using those libraries makes it possible for the compiler to flag code which is supposed to run on less capable platforms but which calls methods from later JVMs. This is a very tricky problem and we seem to have reached consensus that it requires too much effort to make PropertySetter run correctly in all of the build environments which Derby developers use. I will attach a proposal for how to simplify PropertySetter so that it requires less effort to maintain.
