jaxb2-sources : Allow compilation under Java 6 · Issue #478 · javaee/jaxb-v2 (original) (raw)

This repository was archived by the owner on Feb 5, 2019. It is now read-only.

Description

Currently jaxb2-sources fails to compile under Java 6, failing in the 'txwc'
task with this error:

build.xml:179: java.lang.NullPointerException

Building using Java 5 works fine, but obviously it would be cool to have JAXB
compile under the current release of the Java platform.

Perhaps more importantly the current requirement for Java 5 should be documented
as it's causing user's confusion - see

Instructions at https://jaxb2-sources.dev.java.net/ and in 'HOWTO-build.txt' &
'src-build.readme' should be updated.

best regards,
Roberto
