Jboss 3.2.7 running with JDK 1.5 and compiling with JDK 1.5?

jaredtsmith Nov 2, 2006 8:43 PM

I saw the compatibility matrix at:

http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossVsJavaJDKVersionMatrix

Under 3.2.x it says compiles with JDK version 1.3/1.4

Does this just mean that the code of the Jboss Server itself needs JDK 1.3 or 1.4 to compile from source? Or does it mean that my application file which I deploy under 3.2.7 needs to compile with the earlier 1.4 JDK?

My goal is to move to JDK 1.5 to run and compile my application code just wanted to check which way I should interpret that table. I am assuming that compiling under the new JDK for my application code should be fine as long as I am running under that JDK and I don't intend on compiling jboss src itself as prebuild binaries are fine.

Thanks,

Jared

You can certainly use jdk5 for you app using 1.4 target mode. I don't think we have tested deploying apps that use jdk5 features (e.g.enums) in a 3.2.x runtime.

Thanks that is exactly what I needed to know we are only using 1.4 features at the moment so that will work out just fine.

You should have opened a new thread for your question, since its not related to the original topic.

Anyways, here's a step by step guide for installing JBoss 4:
