Handle incompatible JARs gracefully
-----------------------------------
Key: LIVETRIBE-66
URL:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/LIVETRIBE-66 Project: LiveTribe
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: JSR223 2.0.3
Reporter: Jim White
Attachments: catch-error-diff.txt
In the event that you try and load an engine that is compiled for JDK 1.6 and you're on JDK 1.5 then you'll get an error that is not caught in the ScriptManager initialization and will result in any further engines not getting loaded. I encountered this problem on my Mac where some update put the AppleScript.jar (which is for JDK 1.6 and thus throws LinkageError and/or AnnotationError if you try to load it) into $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext/. Hugely annoying.
So this patch will catch LinkageError and AnnotationError and ignore it so that any further engines can be initialized.
