Re: BUG #7577: JDBC Driver - Compiled with Java 7

To add to this, it's not just a question of making more sense. Compiling the
code with Java 7 means the generated class files are version 51, which is
not acceptable to a Java 5 JRE - it wants version 49. So the existing
pre-built jar cannot simply be dropped into a Java 5 app.

To get around this I'm trying to build from source without much more
success. When I follow the recommendation of using a 1.5 JDK, for some
reason ant still craps out with an UnsupportedClassVersionError. I also
tried to hack the build.xml to force compilation with source="1.5" and
target="1.5", but then the compilation fails like this:

compile:
[javac] /opt/sean/software/postgresql-jdbc-9.0-802.src/build.xml:120:
warning: 'includeantruntime' was not set, defaulting to
build.sysclasspath=last; set to false for repeatable builds

error: PGPooledConnection is not abstract and does not override abstract
method removeStatementEventListener(StatementEventListener) in
PooledConnection

etc.

Does anyone have a solution for people like me who must use Java 5?

Thanks,
Sean
