Validator - latest Java 6 compatible version ?

Validator 5.1.2 final does call

Code:

java.util.Collections.emptyIterator()

(in ...engine.ValidatorImpl). That needs Java 7.

Is this intentionally - and if yes, who knows the latest Validator for Java 6 ?

Thank you,
Ruben

(I've had no luck searching through the release notes...)

Hi Ruben,

Thanks for that report.

The change is indeed not intentional, Hibernate Validator is supposed to be compatible with Java 6 for the time being. I've filed HV-924 [1] for fixing this. 5.1.1.Final should work as it doesn't invoke emptyIterator(). Actually we use Animal Sniffer [2] to protect agains such incompatabilities, but unfortunately the plug-in didn't yet run as part of the default build :(

Hth,

I see this issue is fixed in 5.1.3, but that build does not yet appear to be available. Any idea when that version will be released?
