[kepler-users] Query regarding JDK requirement

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Harini,
JDK5 is not a strict requirement for the devel version of
Kepler.  To get the devel version see
https://kepler-project.org/developers/get-kepler-code

JDK5 is the same as Java 1.5, JDK6 is the same as Java 1.6.
For discussion about Java 1.5 and 1.6, see
https://kepler-project.org/developers/kepler-development-forum/build-and-release-team/496635000


I'm not sure if JDK 6 will work with Kepler-1.0.0 though.
There might be version problems with the SQL driver in Kepler-1.0.0.

Note that Java 6 has problems running Eclipse on the Mac.
See http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal/wiki/Main/Mac#Eclipse1_6
This may have changed with last weeks Java update from Apple.


ptolemy.actor.lib.LimitedFiringSource was created on 2007-07-11.

The version of Kepler-1.0.0 that I have has LimitedFiringSource in kepler.jar:

jar -tvf kepler.jar | grep Limited
   2114 Tue Apr 29 15:56:52 PDT 2008 ptolemy/actor/lib/LimitedFiringSource.class
   6316 Tue Apr 29 15:57:02 PDT 2008 ptolemy/actor/lib/LimitedFiringSource.java

Are you building from the kepler subversion repository or from Kepler-1.0.0?
