Description J 2002-11-22 15:33:43 UTC

Being hit by bugs #13895 and #13995, I tried to apply the suggested patch and 
recompile. javac complained in
src/jorphan/org/apache/jorphan/test/AllTests.java:223
src/jorphan/org/apache/jorphan/collections/Data.java
about an unknown method split of the String class
String:split is only in JDK1.4 - yet you claim compatibility downto 1.2 or so.

Peeking around the sources, I found a workaround as follows.
In both .java files, add:
import org.apache.jmeter.util.JMeterUtils;
Additionaly in Help.java:
 Iterator classes = 
ClassFinder.findClassesThatExtend(JMeterUtils.split(searchPaths,","),
and in Data.java:
 setHeaders(JMeterUtils.split(contents[0],delimiter));
 setLine(JMeterUtils.split(contents[x++],delimiter));
E.g. use split() from the JMeterUtils package

After doing so, I managed to compile using JDK1.3.1.
After channging Help.java to say file:///..., I managed to start JMeter1.8 on 
MS-W2k.

Regards,
 Jörg Höhle.
BTW, you ought to add version 1.8 to Bugzilla's selection options.

I've applied the proposed fix and checked it actually compiles and tests under
JDK 1.3.

To avoid creating a dependency from jorphan into jmeter's JMeterUtils, I've
created a new jorphan.util.JOrphanUtils to contain the split method, which I've
removed from JMeterUtils. Looks like generic enough functionality to live within
jorphan...

Bulk-editing to close all bugs reported fixed by 1.8.1.
