I fixed that in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=69273cdd675b205b6f47e9aab2872901c03be578">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=69273cdd675b205b6f47e9aab2872901c03be578</a> This caused (among others) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bugs.debian.org/675834">http://bugs.debian.org/675834</a>, and my being unable to run embedded HSQL with gcj (when it was compiled with OpenJDK 1.6). Point of this email: While doing that, I noticed that our ./configure --with-java-target-version=XXX was (at least partially) overridden internally by HSQL's own "detect what Java version I'm being compiled by". So I prepared the attached patch (which depends on my above commit). But alas, it breaks "--with-java-target-version=1.5" when compiling with OpenJDK 1.6: [javac] /home/master/src/libreoffice/core/hsqldb/unxlngx6/misc/build/hsqldb/src/org/hsqldb/jdbc/jdbcConnection.java:428: org.hsqldb.jdbc.jdbcConnection is not abstract and does not override abstract method createStruct(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object[]) in java.sql.Connection [javac] public class jdbcConnection implements Connection { [javac] ^ That's because the method "createStruct" is in "#ifdef JAVA6". OTOH, in the current situation, I predict that compiling with Java7 and --with-java-target-version=1.5 will make .class files that CANNOT be run under older Java, because that older Java will not have SQLFeatureNotSupportedException (same problem as with GCJ). So... We cannot hold the promise we give: [Generate class files that will work on JVMs with the specified version. For example, use --with-java-target-version=1.4 to make sure that the application will work with JVM 1.4 even when compiled with JDK 1.5.]) Or someone has a miracle solution? </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org">LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice</a> </pre> </blockquote> <hr>Disclaimer: <a href="http://www.peralex.com/disclaimer.html">http://www.peralex.com/disclaimer.html</a> </body> </html>
