To whom it may concern,

I have followed the instructions at Hibernate Tool web site on how to build tool from cvs. I have trouble with JDK1.5 portion. I have already put a build.properties file into HibernateExt/ejb-api directory but I am still getting compiler error. The error is invalid target release: 1.5. I echo out my ant.java.version is 1.4 and my JAVA_HOME is 1.4 because that's the version of java I am using. I have downloaded Java 1.5 jdk. I have set jdk15.home in my build.properties file and I have echo out the variable and is set to the right directory. According to the web site, it mentioned the following:


Some of HibernateExt modules depends on jdk 1.5 features so we need to tell the build system where your jdk 1.5 installation is located. Note: it is only annotations that are dependent on jdk 1.5., the rest works fine with jdk 1.4. Put a build.properties file into the HibernateExt/ejb-api and HibernateExt/metadata directory (remember to change the actual path to something relevant for your system):


I followed the instructions but I am still getting compiler error. Could someone give me some ideas? thanks.

sorry - recent changes have made some parts of the build dependent on jdk 1.5 :(

Easiest work around is simply to do the build with jdk 1.5 until I (or someone else) fixes the jdk 1.5 build dependency.

Hi Max,

Thanks for the quick reply:)

I figured it out after I posted...:) I reverse about 3 build files change so they will still depend on build.properties. I can build hibernate tool with JDK1.4 and uses 1.5 when necessary.

Thanks
