Problem building eclipse with JDK1.4 support

Hi.  I'm an Arch Linux user and Java developer, and I assist
one of the 
Arch package maintainers with the building and maintenance
of the 
Eclipse package.

I've recently run into a problem when we tried to upgrade
our Eclipse 
package from 3.2 to 3.3.1.  It seems the
"java5home" argument has been 
removed from the build scripts, and as a result I'm no
longer able to 
build Eclipse with proper JDK1.4 support.  See these bugs
for more 
details on the issue:


https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=206479

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=153087

Neither the Eclipse JUnit team (the problem exhibits itself
as a JUnit 
bug) nor the Eclipse build team has been able to answer our
questions 
and show us how we can get our package properly built to
support JDK1.4.

Can anyone here offer some assistance?

TIA,

DR

We don't build with a 1.4 VM anymore in Fedora, but you can
always take
a look at how we build and see if it applies to your case:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/view
cvs/*checkout*/rpms/eclipse/devel/eclipse.spec

I don't know about the specific java5home argument you
mention, though.
Sorry.

Andrew

Hi,

You might want to try talking to Jean-Noel. He's working on
the
packaging of the Eclipse SDK on the Gentoo team.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll look over your build
script.


See the difference in the srcBuild instructions for 3.2 vs.
3.3. 
(Search for "java 5 installation").
