JSyntaxPane doesn't run in Java 5 #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When running RESTClient with JSyntaxPane 0.9.3 in Java 5, I am getting this
trace:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
java.util.Properties.stringPropertyNames()Ljava/util/Set;

I think java.util.Properties has introduced stringPropertyNames() method in
version 6. We have to find corresponding method in Java and update the
JSyntaxPane code so that it is compatible with Java 5.

This is similar to issue 32.  But it there may be more than this method which is
available in 1.6 only.

I did a refactor to a java 5 compatible API, but as you said, there are other
dependencies--including javax.swing.GroupLayout--which is available only in 
Java 6.
So I have not committed my changes. To make RESTClient compatible with 
JSyntaxPane,
the minimum requirement will be raised from Java 5 to Java 6 since version 2.2 
of
RESTClient.

Closing this issue.

Too bad it's java 6 only, that excludes a large part of the installed JREs.

There is a java 5 backport for GroupLayout btw. 

If there's no real dependency on java 6 that is absolutely necessary, you're 
just
being lazy and are keeping this project from becoming reaching its full 
potential. 

Do the right thing and make it available on Java 5 please.

It's not about being lazy.  The GroupLayout can be removed from the library as 
it is
used in a tester class, which can actually be removed altogether.  However 
there are
JDK 6 dependencies, using the CharSequence, the Segment class, and possibly 
others.  
Plus, the JDK 5 has already entered its End-Of-Life phase.
