Unfortunately the build is pinned to v1.6, so that's the minimum JVM version you'll need to use the JAR from Maven Central.

When you tried building it, did you change to sourceCompatibility = 1.5?

from wiremock.

Yes I even did that . But it throwed some compilation errors. Looks like some of the 1.6 features like static are being used in the code.

Is there any chance of making the source code work with 1.5 ?

My intention is to use this wiremock with one of my legacy java project which runs in jdk1.5. We want to mock few restful third party client responses.

I have tested wiremock with jdk1.6/maven in a standalone setup and it works perfectly.

To be honest given the very limited time I've got to devote to this at the moment, 1.5 language support isn't likely to make it near the top of the list any time soon.

Perhaps you could build your project with a runtime version of 1.6 but source version of 1.5? I've never tried this, but I believe it's possible to vary the two separately.

from wiremock.

My runtime version in the application server (jvm) is 1.5 .

from wiremock.

What I mean is something like this in your POM (perhaps in a separate testing profile):

<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin>

from wiremock.

I just putting this in WireMock's build.properties:
sourceCompatibility = 1.5
targetCompatibility = 1.5

And it built fine with no changes using a 1.7 JDK. If this is still an issue for you, it's probably worth giving this a try.
