Re: [sca-j] NEW ISSUE: JCI90003 -- Java SE 5 requirement should be on the runtime not on the class

[Jim Marino <jim.marino@gmail.com>]

Hi Anish,

I'm not sure the intent of this is to disallow classes that use a feature in Java 6 or greater, but the issue reads that way. For example, a component implementation class could make use of a JDK 6 API. I think it should be valid for a runtime to support use of those APIs.
