compatibility

I have Java 6 and 7 installed on my machine. Gradle uses 1.7 (checked using gradle -v ). But I need to compile my code to be compatible with Java 1.6. As far as I understand the documentation I can use the sourceCompatibility property to do so (and indirectly the targetCompatibility which defaults to the sourceCompatibility ). So I added the following line to my build file (on the root level, not in any closure): sourceCompatibility = 1.6 (to be sure I also added the targetCompatibility = 1.6 in some trials, but that should not make a difference) To check whether the result was actually

I'm building a small Java app and hoping to use logback for logging. My app has a dependency on an older project that does its logging via org.apache.commons | com.springsource.org.apache.commons.logging | 1.1.1 ...so my plan was to use org.slf4j | jcl-over-slf4j | 1.5.6 ...to redirect the JCL logging to org.slf4j | slf4j-api | 1.6.0 ...and ultimately to ch.qos.logback | logback-classic | 0.9.22 ch.qos.logback | logback-core | 0.9.22 so my app can log through logback via its slf4j API while the old library code can log into the same location via the redirection. Alas, this results in java.lang

I have Internet Explorer installed on my computer but needed to test compatibility mode of IE 7. After changing the document mode to IE 7, it set it as default and now I can't change it. The default is stuck on IE 7? How do I set Document mode default? Ken Gray You can achieve this using a meta tag as follows: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" /> The rendering mode in Internet Explorer 11 can appear stuck if the site is added to your local Compatibility View list. When this happens, the rendering mode inside the developer tools and out will default to the specified

I am getting back to work on an app I worked on a while ago, when I had everything built around Android 2.2 Froyo. I have updated my SDK for the latest APIs and noticed that the ClipboardManager features I was using are deprecated. I updated the code to use the newer ClipData model and tried it out on my Froyo phone and, of course, I get a NoClassDefFoundError in the new code. I've had a look around SO and haven't found any real discussions of general strategy for maintaining backwards compatibility. I'm not entirely sure how I should handle this and other situations where the API differs,

I'm working on an application that requires a great deal of stastical processing and output as images in a .net desktop application. The problems, including generating the output images, seem like a natural fit for R http://www.r-project.org/ Is there a wrapper, API, SDK, or port that will allow me to call R from .net? R.NET is pretty buggy with the newer version of R. And if it doesn't work right, it works terribly (and will continue to do so unless you know exactly how to fix it). Personally, I'd recommend using R script files and executing them. What you should do is start your R script
