Hello Jess!
Thanks for your reply!
Then I understand, MakeJar.xml is just a packaging tool.
I may have been a little unclear about my motives here so I will try to explain:
I'm working in a large company where changing Java version on all clients just because of a single project is very difficult. Currently the clients are equiped with Java 1.6 and will probably be at the time of the rollout of Windchill 10.2.
My train of thoughts are something like this:
* Applets have not really evolved since early 2000 (not the ones you find in Windchill anyways)
* Applets will be replaced in Windchill 10.2 M030 so PTC is probably not putting any effort in chaning them to much and since they worked in 10.0 with version 1.6 they will probably work with that version in 10.2 (if it was possible to change).
So my conclusion was that if we in some way could change the version the Java classes for the Applets were compiled in a major problem could be fixed since as you also noted that class-files compiled with an older version will work fine in a newer runtime. The Applets could however have dependencies wich makes such compilation not work.
I suppose we'll have to fix this on the client-side then...
Best regards,
Peter
