Java method works in 1.5 but not 1.6

Hi There, I have an application which has been running happily under Java 1.5 for around a year. We've just had the boxes updated and had Java 1.6 installed.

How to Debug while Porting from Java 1.5 to 1.6?

I have a distributed JBoss-based application that shows a buggy behavior when compiled and run with Java 1.6. It shows an another bug when compiled with Java 1.5 and run with Java 1.6. But it works fine when compiled and run with Java 1.5. What is the best approach to debug this application? Is there a lint for Java 1.5 to 1.6 conversion...

Java: easiest way to package both Java 1.5 and 1.6 code

I want to package a piece of code that absolutely must run on Java 1.5. There's one part of the code where the program can be "enhanced" if the VM is an 1.6 VM. Basically it's this method: private long[] findDeadlockedThreads() { // JDK 1.5 only supports the findMonitorDeadlockedThreads() // method, so you need to comment out...

Eclipse pausing without a breakpoint

While debugging my project in Eclipse, it will (repeatably, at the same point in the code) pause execution as if it's reached a breakpoint. No exceptions are thrown, the project has no breakpoints, and if I hit resume, it carries on without a problem. What could be causing this behaviour? ...

Log4j category weirdness

I've been having a frustrating time trying to sort out the logging in my project. In particular, one of the 3rd party libraries we use had one class, com.foo.bar.baz.java, that ignored any configuration in the properties file for the com.foo.bar package, instead following the application-wide properties. Eventually using %c in the p...

Detecting non-1.5 Java code while developing on a mac under 1.6

I use a mac (and therefore java 1.6) to develop a cross-platform application that is released in Java 1.5. I've discovered that Eclipse can enforce 1.5 compliance, and that has saved me from publishing some code with 1.6-style @Override syntax. However, eclipse's compliance-detection is limited to syntax. It will not catch functions. ...
