Description Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-07-24 09:26:55 UTC

Package tomcat appears to be using Java generics,
but generates class files in format older than 49.0,
which corresponds to J2SE 5.0, in which generics were introduced.

Please update this package to generate classes in format 49.0 or
above. This corresponds to -target 1.5 option of javac (or ecj).

For more information, see bug #842394

Comment 1 Ivan Afonichev 2012-08-24 21:08:30 UTC

It seems tomcat package already build in 50 format.
also build.xml:


  <!-- Servlet 3.0 spec requires 1.6+ -->
  <property name="compile.source" value="1.6"/>
  <property name="compile.target" value="1.6"/>

Comment 2 Mikolaj Izdebski 2012-08-27 08:48:36 UTC

These 2 jars have classes in format 48.0:
  /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar
  /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/examples/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar
These are part of tomcat-webapps binary RPM build from tomcat SRPM

To see the full list of affected classes, you can try:
  curl http://mizdebsk.fedorapeople.org/jsr14-rawhide-2012-07-23.gz | zgrep ^tomcat-webapps-

You can also use javap to check class versions.
