| Guava: Google Core Libraries for Java |
| ===================================== |
| |
| This is the JDK5 backport of Guava. As such, it has a variety of |
| code removed, most notably code that uses Math.scalb, Deque and |
| its inheritors, NavigableMap, NavigableSet and their inheritors, |
| and lots of methods that don't make sense without the above. |
| Additionally, TimeUnit only supports SECONDS as the highest |
| granular time unit, so all uses of MINUTES, DAYS, HOURS have been |
| re-cast in terms of SECONDS. Lastly, Charset-accepting methods |
| on String and elsewhere were added in 1.6, so all charsets are |
| passed in by using Charset.FOO.name(), and exceptions are trapped |
| or thrown as appropriate. |
| |
| The JDK5 backport builds with Maven, but has two ideosyncrasies. |
| Firstly, it requries a custom ExecutorService which we build |
| in a boostrap project which is included in the build of Guava. |
| Secondly, the maven build will, in the backport, use a bootstrap |
| rt.jar classpath based on a standard sun JDK on unix. But this |
| is overridable on a Mac by passing in: |
| |
| -Dbootstrap.classes=/path/to/my/classes.jar |
| |
| This was instituted so that you can build on a 1.6 JDK, and get |
| the appropriate behavior around @Overrides use for interface |
| methods but pass in a JDK5 classes jar. Adding the JDK5 jar |
| ensures that no APIs introduced in 1.6 slipped past our cleanup. |
| |
| If you have difficulties building, please try setting the above |
| property to a known rt.jar or classes.jar. |
