Backwards compatbility: Ant task javasource attribute not passed down to compiler in 2.0.0; source attribute missing from SVN_HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: XMLBEANS-201
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-201
     Project: XMLBeans
        Type: Bug
    Versions: Version 2, TBD    
 Environment: Java 1.5 on linux
    Reporter: Steve Loughran


Hello,

I am trying to use XMLbeans on a project that normally uses 2.0,0, but on gump it gets built against HEAD instead.

Unfortunately, I cannot configure my build.xml to work consistently across the two, because the source attribut is missing from the HEAD release. If I leave it out, I cannot compile the generated java1.5 source against the 2.0.0 release. Now maybe in the HEAD release the javasource attr is all you need, but that is not sufficient for 2.0.0.

Please bring the source attribute back to HEAD, even if all it does is print a warning "no longer used", otherwise you have broken backwards compatilbity in your build process for end users.

I should add that

1. javasource isnt supported in the HEAD release either, which you can you can verify in Gump:
http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/ggf-cddlm/cddlm/gump_work/build_ggf-cddlm_cddlm.html

2. Ant has a special test suite, ant-testharness, designed for running ant targets as junit tests. This is how ant tests its own tasks, but other projects are encouraged to use it too. Please get on the ant developers mail list if you need help using it.

I am not getting the same results. Javasource is definitely supported in the HEAD revision. Also, source is still supported, even though javasource is the correct thing to use.
As far as backwards compatibility is concerned, this was just an oversight and the "source" parameter was supposed to be used for something else, you have to draw the line somewhere otherwise it would become impossible to fix bugs :-)

We'll look into the ant-testharness thing.

Well, this is strange, because gump is definately failing for me:

http://vmgump.apache.org/gump/public/ggf-cddlm/cddlm/gump_work/build_ggf-cddlm_cddlm.html

BUILD FAILED
/x1/gump/public/workspace/ggf-cddlm/build.xml:590: xb:xmlbean doesn't support the "javasource" attribute

(Pause)

OK. Gump is only doing xmlbeans-v1, and it is not in the version 1. Are there any plans to build v2 under gump, I do I have to come up with some workaround (like skip that part of the build in gump?)

Well, if you are doing V1 then indeed the javasource attribute is not supported, it's something that was added in V2. Am I to understand then that this issue is about backporting this into V1? If so, we should edit the title to reflect this and change the priority to reflect the fact that this is not breaking backwards-compat.

---------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

No work is going on in the V1 branch and this sounds like a V1 issue backport request
