Rob Moore commented on XMLBEANS-180:
------------------------------------

After some more research, it appears that this issue may be solved in the 2.0 release \
(I was using a beta) insofar as I should be able to build jars use for 1.4 JDKs.

Looking at the source for xxx version 2.0 final \
org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.tool.XMLBean, I noticed at around line 255:

 if (source != null)

                {

                    javac.setSource(source);

                    javac.setTarget(source);

                }

                else

                {

                    javac.setSource("1.4");

                    javac.setTarget("1.4");

                }

Source seems to be an undocumented attribute that appears to have the same purpose as \
a combination of source and target in javac. However, looking at the code comments, \
the attribute seems to be under review:

  //REVIEW this allows people to deal with the case where they drag in

  //more files for compilation than they should.  not sure if this is

  //a good thing or not

  private String source = null;

  public void setSource(String s) { source = s; }

> I am on a machine running the 1.5 JDK. However, I must generate xmlbean jar files \
> that are compatible with 1.4 JDKs. I expected there to be an attribute similar to \
> that found in the ant javac task that allows one to generate class files for \
> specific VM version, like so: <javac srcdir="${src}"
> destdir="${build}"
> source="1.4"
> target="1.4"
> />
> I thought that setting the javasource attribute might have this effect, but it does \
> not. As a result of not having this feature, I am unable to generate compatible \
> jars from within ant using my current build process which makes use of the \
> above-mentioned javac attribute.
