Dear enthusiasts
A couple days after our last release, please welcome our new version 1.6.0.
This new versions marks a major change: we now switched to Java 6 (CARGO-1395) - Which changes (and hopefully simplifies!) a lot of things:
- Java 6 or later is now required to build as well as to run Codehaus Cargo
Note: The switch to Java 6 also implies you can build Codehaus Cargo on Java 9
- Maven 3.2.2 or later is now required to build Codehaus Cargo
Note: Even though we didn't block any older Maven 2 / Maven 3 version (APIs should be the ones as old as Maven 2.0), we do not test with any of these older versions
- Dependencies have been simplified: dom4j, JAXB nor Xalan are not required to run Codehaus Cargo anymore, as we now switched to the standard Java APIs for DOM
Note: Our dependency to jdom remains, as we use it for the creation of specific deployable XML POJOs
- Our Javadocs now look much better, as the new Java version allows the optimal usage of
@Override
and other tags
In addition, we added support for TomEE 7.x (CARGO-1406); so you can keep on using the latest & greatest Java containers.
Feel like upgrading? Here come the instructions:
Enjoy!
