[DBUTILS] Version numbering (was: Java version not specified in POM)

Good catch. :-( Uh, if dbutils 1.1 was compatible with java 1.3, and we want to depend on java 1.4 in the next version, do we have to call it "dbutils 2.0"? I assume not; I think we can still call it "dbutils 1.2" even though we depend on java 1.4 now. Is that OK? Similarly, could/should

I am fine with both points and also agree with the comments of Ralph. 1) sounds that the current implementation is buggy - or at least inconsistent; so this should really be improved. 2) seems to be an interesting extension of the lookups we have so far. Here it would be really cool if you could

[DBUTILS] Java version not specified in POM

2009-03-07 Thread sebb
The pom.xml does not specify a java source or target version, so defaults to 1.3 (from the parent pom) As far as I can tell, the component requires at least 1.4 so the POM needs to be updated. [IMO the compiler settings should never be delegated to the parent POM] ---
