Build fails with Java 1.5

[tschaub]

I'm not entirely sure that this is Java 1.5 specific, but after 2c98c5617fdec5d02e5f58f17020d0448419d486, this is what I get from ant jar:

compile:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /path/to/build/classes
    [javac] Compiling 52 source files to /path/to/build/classes
/path/to/ringojs/src/org/ringojs/jsgi/JsgiRequest.java:21: cannot access javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
bad class file: /path/to/ringojs/lib/jetty/servlet-api-3.0.20100224.jar(javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.class)
class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

Rolling back 2c98c5617fdec5d02e5f58f17020d0448419d486 on my fork makes it so Ringo builds again with Java 1.5.

I think this issue can be solved by including servlet-api-2.5.jar instead of servlet-api 3.0.jar.

I'm wondering wheter Java 1.5 support still is important? Are there platforms where Java 6 isn't available, or are you developing or deploying with Java 1.5?

We are still deploying with Java 1.5. I have some work to do to update to the latest Ringo - not sure if there is currently an issue or not.

I've updated ivy.xml to load Servlet 2.5 instead of 3.0.

The following should fix the problems with JDK 1.5:

rm lib/jetty/*
ant update

I'll update the jetty libs before 0.8.

I just downgraded Servlet API to 2.5, should be working now.
