[opensuse-packaging] java version issue in factory - java 1.5 or lower
Hello all, i build a package for a java program in the build service, it works alright on most repositories except for Factory. Following issue: >ERROR: the files above contain java bytecode for something later than java 1.5, >ERROR: please set the javac target to 1.5 or lower. Considering that java 1.6 is out for quite some time now (sun & openjdk), I wonder why java applications are forced to be compiled for anything lower than 1.6, rather that forcing them to be compiled for AT LEAST 1.6? I understand some of the libraries require an older version for compatibility, but this is a desktop app and there the latest java (sun 1.6.0u10 or equiv. openjdk) should be default instead. Ah, and btw: Still waiting for sun java 1.6u10 coming through online update. Any idea anybody when that will be?

It's necessary for SLES. You can disable this test export NO_BRP_CHECK_BYTECODE_VERSION=true to %install phase. I added it to add this to wiki [1]

As this is not a security update, the u10 was updated in Factory only.

Thanks you very much for the reply, I was almost giving up hope for an answer. [...]

export NO_BRP_CHECK_BYTECODE_VERSION=3Dtrue Thanks, will do that then.

The packages are building now and according to build log file, also written. However, in the project overview/package overview the newly build packages are not shown and a "failed" still appears for factory. Regards, Denny
