Description Jesse Glick 2010-01-19 06:52:47 UTC 
It was decided to drop support for JDK 5 for NetBeans module development and runtime. This can be a tracking/reference issue for changes that need to be made throughout the platform, IDE, harness, and nbbuild.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2010-01-19 07:37:27 UTC 
Initial work in core-main #221ab2f082be.
Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2010-01-19 14:51:23 UTC 
A bunch of further changes in core-main; should be propagated once builders are no longer broken.
Comment 3 Jaroslav Tulach 2010-01-19 23:58:06 UTC 
Y01: Removing libs.jsr223 module is incompatible change. Some people used to depend on it. Leave it around, deprecate, and remove its external library.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2010-01-20 08:20:51 UTC 
Windows launcher needs to be modified to look for JDK 6 specifically, if it does not already do so.
