Version 2.7.1-1 now takes line endings in the patch file and in the file to be patch serious. Thus, the application of a patch fails when the line endings are different.
I haven't investigated this deeply at the time, but the hsqldb module has a mix of line endings (that led to a broken patch too) and uses CONVERTFILES in makefile.mk to harmonize them.
There are issues 121690 [3] and 121754 [4] regarding building with Java 7 (JDK 1.7) and HSQLDB. I think these issues are the duplicates of each other [please, can one of the people involved in these issues - e.g. Fred, Ariel or Andrea confirm this? Thx in advance]. As far as I understood these issues are solved. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
121754 is fixed. 121690 is more generic; I confirm that after fixing 121754 I had no problems in building with Java 7, so it might be that HSQLDB was the only problem. But I only tried with some "standard" build options. Namely, I didn't try with --with-junit or similar, and Kay reported issues with that.
On a Windows system with JRE 6 the installation of my build does not recognize installed JRE 6 as an Java runtime environment (Menu - Tools - Option - Java). This is no problem from my point of view as our Windows users should not have JRE 6 installed anymore on their systems due to its security risks. Does somebody contradicts?
As far as I know, this would be a significant limitation. We can now build with Java 5, 6 or 7 and the build can work with Java 5, 6 or 7 (regardless of the version used for building). Restricting this would require discussion, especially on less common platforms.
