[FIXED] Error when compiling gxt.jar

[kcaseye]

I get this error when I compile using the gxt.jar file that I downloaded from this site.

bad class file: F:\Isaac\AdminClient\gxt-1.0-beta1\gxt.jar(com/extjs/gxt/ui/client/mvc/AppEvent.class)
class file has wrong version 50.0, should be 49.0
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
import com.extjs.gxt.ui.client.mvc.AppEvent;
1 error

OS: Windows XP
IDE: Netbeans with GWT4NB plugin

(I have compiled with MyGWT 0.5.2 using Netbeans, so I don't think that's the problem.)

gxt 1.0 needs JDK 1.5.

I'm using jdk 1.5. That's not the problem.

The problem is that gxt.jar contains 1.6 bytecode.

49.0 = 1.5
50.0 = 1.6

I have fixed the build to produce 1.5 bytecode. The changes are in SVN and will go out in the next rev.

For a workaround, you can use JDK 1.6. Let me know if you still have problems.

[kcaseye]

When will the next revision come out? And how often do revisions come out in general?

darrell, this kind of bug is where you shouldn't be waiting for the next release ... clearly if Ext GXT needs 1.6 than fair enough, but this is actually stopping people from using 1.0 as, like me, they probably don't want to upgrade their VM as this can cause other incompatiblities - lucky for me I grabbed a snapshot of the SVN a few days ago and can continue working...

There will be a rapid release cycle while we are in beta. Beta2 will be available soon.

I really need a gxt.jar which is compiled with jdk5 .....
There is no official jdk6 on mac osx, and even the dev preview of jdk6 doesn't work in hosted mode.

So for now I am really blocked!

Thanks a lot

Beta2 will be up by Monday.
