Running plug-in on JDK6

[roland...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I just found this plug-in and want to try it out to see if it can help replace our current build-environment with Maven. The problem I have is that we are using JDK6 and your code is relying pretty heavily on JDK7. Is there a possibility for a JDK6 release? Or is there perhaps a certain point in history that was still compatible with JDK6 which I can use?

The problem for me is that it is not possible (right now) to update to JDK7...

Thanks.

Looking at creating a different branch that would be JDK6 compatible
is on my list of todos (after improving the ctest support in the main
branch). I don't have an immediate timeframe for it, though; as you
note, the current code relies pretty heavily on JDK7 features.

OK, thanks. Well, I can perhaps test on a JDK7 to see if I can get our builds to run and when I'm satisfied with the results and have convinced my PL, we'll see how far along you are... :-)
Or maybe in my spare time I will check out your code-base and see if I can lend a hand. I assume that's OK with you?

I'm definitely willing to look at patches (especially those with
tests), but the project isn't really mine. I'm just a helper, so it
would really be up to the project owner.

From what I saw, I only need the 'cmake-maven-plugin' to run on JDK6, the other 2 projects can remain on JDK7...

So, here is a patch. No new tests included, I think it is enough that the old tests still run... I mean, it compiles with JDK6 (which is proof that it works) and the tests also run on JDK6...
Btw, you can build and release the whole thing (all 3 projects) with JDK7 if you want, the resulting JAR is JDK6 compatible! -- This can't be tested with an included test, since you would need to switch JDKs somehow... (although, tool-chain might work, but unfortunately I never checked that out).

Would love for you to include this in (one of) the next release(s), but at least for now I can use my local snapshot for further testing!

Thanks Roland! I'll take a look at this tonight.

Thanks Roland. I've integrated your patch. It will be in the next release.

Thanks Kevin!
I will keep testing with my Snapshot until the next release is done. Looks like this plug-in is doing exactly what I need!
