Java 5 compatibility checks

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Use the Animal Sniffer plugin to ensure we write code that is compatible with 
Java 5:

http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin/

Use the Enforce Bytecode Version Plugin to ensure our dependencies are 
compatible with Java 5:

http://mojo.codehaus.org/extra-enforcer-rules/enforceBytecodeVersion.html

The java6 package should obviously enforce Java 6 compatibility. App Engine 
also requires at least Java 6.

We added the Animal Sniffer plugin but not the Enforcer plugin. The Enforcer 
plugin crashes with a NullPointerException. This seems to be because we specify 
version numbers in <dependencyManagement> instead of directly on the 
dependencies. 

The following thread appears to be the issue we're facing as well:
