iReport 1.2.4 requires Java 1.5

FYI, iReport 1.2.4 does not work with Java 1.4.2.

 

Some operations will silently fail, although the console will show some messages, mainly that java.lang.Boolean.parseBoolean is a missing method. Some symptoms are: 1) The entire Edit menu is always disabled, and 2) File->Close menu items do not work, and you cannot close any windows.

 

It would be nice if it performed a check and presented an error if you weren't running on 1.5 or later.

Already fixed in CVS.

 

Anyway to compile iReport you still need Java 1.5.

 

Thanks

I would prefer moving to Java 5. :)
