Java version

[fabianbuch]

Currently messagesource as dependency on JDK 1.6

Is a version for 1.5 doable?

Comment of Marc Kannegiesser: The Tool is built for 1.5 so there should be no problem using it with Java5.

What are the concrete problems that occur?

Comment of Edward Pawlik: The offending class is org.synyx.messagesource.InitializableMessageSource

The method is below and the problem is that the String.isEmpty() is a Java 6 method.

private List getPath(Locale locale) {
        List path = resolvingPath.get(locale);
        if (path == null) {
            path = new ArrayList();

            List localePath = LocaleUtils.getPath(locale, getDefaultLocale());
            for (Locale loc : localePath) {
                if (loc == null) {
                    path.add("_");
                } else {

                    String language = LocaleUtils.getLanguage(loc);
                    String country = LocaleUtils.getCountry(loc);
                    String variant = LocaleUtils.getVariant(loc);
                    if (!variant.isEmpty()) {
                        path.add(String.format("_%s_%s_%s", language, country, variant));
                    } else if (!country.isEmpty()) {
                        path.add(String.format("_%s_%s", language, country));
                    } else if (!language.isEmpty()) {
                        path.add(String.format("_%s", language));
                    }
                }
            }
            resolvingPath.put(locale, path);
        }
        return path;
    }

Can I point you to the maven compiler plugin and how it doesn’t actually guarantee that the source code will actually run on the targeted jdk.. [http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html]
