Eclipse & Java 1.5

Hi!

I want to change my laptop system from Debian to FreeBSD. After installing 8.0
RC2 in a virtual machine i have tried to install eclipse and changed the Java
version in the makefile to 1.5, but it still want to install the 1.6 jdk.

I need the 1.5 version for several reasons, for example VPN account.

How can i solve the problem? Is java 1.5 also available if i install it on
AMD64? On debian this is a Problem.

Thx

Alex

Does /usr/ports/java/jdk15 not work for you?

Can you not install both and tell eclipse to use the 15 jdk?

You can try editing /usr/ports/java/eclipse/Makefile to JAVA_VERSION=   1.5
but I have no idea if that will work.

jdk15 does work on amd64

I've been bitten by this as well. Of course eclipse works well with java versions
<1.6, as it does on all other platforms.

Such restrictions in the Makefiles (= instead of >=) are really a showstopper for
people who just want to get things done.

This surprises me a bit, as I'd understood that the differences between 1.5 and
1.6 were strictly limited to bugfixes, and changed the interface not at all.
Reason that this might make some difference to you is that, at least for me
(using FreeBSD-current) the jdk16 port and eclipse, from ports, are absolutely
rock stable.

Do you really have some reports saying that jdk16 doesn't work in your situation?

Yes, for example access over Juniper Netscreen VPN requires flash and java
1.5.
