and the script for running using j2sdk1.4.2_12.

Is there any way to make the class file made in jdk1.5.0_10 compatible to j2sdk1.4.2_12.

Please help me with this.

Thanks & Regards

Compile with -source=1.4
You won't be able to use class templates though.

Just specifying "-source 1.4" is not enough. That only tells the Java compiler that it should treat the source code as Java 1.4 source code, but the output will still be a Java 5.0 class file.

You will need to use the "-target 1.4" switch too. Note that this is not really safe - if your program uses classes or interfaces which are new in Java 5.0, then you will get ClassNotFoundErrors when you try to run the program on Java 1.4.

If your program needs to run under Java 1.4, then it's safest to use JDK 1.4 instead of using a newer JDK. You can download JDK 1.4 from Sun's website here.

If you absolutely want to use Java 5.0 and still make it run on Java 1.4, have a look at Retroweaver.

Actually the javac documentation says:


-target version
Generate class files that will work on VMs with the specified version. The default is to generate class files to be compatible with the JDK 5 VM. When the -source 1.4 or lower option is used, the default target is 1.4. The versions supported by javac are:



I am definitely going to check out Retroweaver, as I am indeed working on a project that needs to be compatible with 1.4.

Right-click your project in NetBeans, select Properties. Build->Compiling-Additional Compiler Options.

Type in -source=1.4 -target=1.4

Recompile. I think that should work.

To be on the safe side with the APIs, go to the Java Platform Manager under the Tools menu and add a 1.4.2 JDK as a java platform. The set this as your project's RT library.

Hey
I got a small issue, I downloaded java j2sdk1.4.2_16 installed it and in tools platform manager (netbean) option I have given the path of the newly installed java, however it is still taking the default java path.
after rgt clicking the project and compile option then in advance compile box option I put -source=1.4 -target=1.4 as said to me to do, However when I debug or build the project I am getting this message javac: invalid flag: -source=1.4
Usage: javac <options> <source files>

Please help me this.

Thanks & Regards

In your project in NetBeans, in the Projects view, under the node "Libraries" does it say JDK 1.4.2? If not, you must right-click on "Libraries". Select "Properties" and select the 1.4.2 Java Platform from the combo-box.

If that doesn't work, you should try asking further instructions at a NetBeans forum. There's probably someone there who knows. Good luck!
