Kepler

With the new build system under Windows with JDK 1.6.0_05, I get:
[compile] Compiling core...
[compile] Compiling 98 source files to c:\tmp\cxh\src\kepler\core\target\classes
[compile] c:\tmp\cxh\src\kepler\core\src\org\ecoinformatics\util\DBConnection.java:67: org.ecoinformatics.util.DBConnection is not abstract and does not override abstract method createSQLXML() in java.sql.Connection
[compile] public class DBConnection implements Connection {
[compile] ^

The workaround is to move core/src/org/ecoinformatics/util/DBConnection-JDK1.6-Java to DBConnection.java.

bash-3.2$ pushd ../core/src/org/ecoinformatics/util/
_{/src/kepler/core/src/org/ecoinformatics/util ~/src/kepler/build-area
bash-3.2$ ls
Config.java
DBConnection-JDK1.6-Java
DBConnection.java
DBConnectionFactory.java
DelimitedReader.java
bash-3.2$ mv DBConnection.java DBConnection-JDK1.5-Java
bash-3.2$ cp DBConnection-JDK1.6-Java DBConnection.java
bash-3.2$ popd}
/src/kepler/build-area
bash-3.2$

This problem is caused because Sun broke backward compatibility with certain
classes.

The real fix is to have the build system check the version of java and
copy the appropriate file as necessary.

In my opinion, Kepler 1.1.0 must able to be compiled with Java 6 (aka JDK1.6).

The problem is:
[compile] Compiling 96 source files to /home/bldmastr/kepler/core/target/classes
[compile] /home/bldmastr/kepler/core/src/org/ecoinformatics/util/DBConnection.java\
:62: org.ecoinformatics.util.DBConnection is not abstract and does not override abst\
ract method createSQLXML() in java.sql.Connection
[compile] public class DBConnection implements Connection {
[compile] ^

The solution is for the build system to move files if Java 1.6 is detected.

Kepler 2.0 should be Java 1.6 compatible, IMHO. The main problem is that we need to work around this since older macs will not be upgraded Java 1.6. One option is to have the installer check to see what version of java is running and choose the correct DBConnection class file.

DBConnection has been removed since it provided trivial functionality.
Kepler now compiles with java 1.6.
