Java and RDP 7.6 vs. RTCp 2.0.0.2ifix1

Larry McCarthy (210●22●24) | asked Jun 03 '10, 1:46 a.m.
I can't find anyplace to create either an RDP or RTCp Defect WI (hint, hint), so I'll report it here...

RDP 7.6 comes with a 1.6/6.0 JDK. When you ask it to export an ant build file, it writes target=1.6 and source=1.6 properties to the build file.

By default, the IBM i build subsystem seems to use the "classic" 1.5 JDK (the latest I have installed on the IBM i). The build blows up when faced with the target=1.6 property. Putting an ant.build.javac.target=1.5 in the properties page of the Build definition doesn't override the build file, nor does a -D on the ant command line.

You probably ought to require a 1.6/6.0 JDK for the IBM i build subsystem for whatever versions (RDP 7.6 and RTCp 2.0.0.2ifix1 for sure, but there could be more combinations) have this incompatibility.

In the meantime, a couple of work-arounds are:

  • Install the 1.6/6.0 JDK on your IBM i, and point ant's JAVA_HOME there in the Build Def'n, or
  • Hand-edit the ant build file from target/source=1.6 to 1.5 and deliver it back into the repo any time you generate (export) a new one.


And, there might be easier ways, but it's late...

Hi Larry

RDP is not yet on jazz.net (hint hint to RDP team :-) but RTCp is definitely here. Log your request at:

Thank, Anthony!

That'll be Defect 3620 in your songbooks, then.
