Ted Kirby commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-501:
--------------------------------------------

I like the first sentence of the warning message: "Apache Geronimo V2.1 is currently only certified on a 1.5 JVM."  As I have noted elsewhere, I do not like the second sentence, particularly the "is not currently supported" part.  It would be nice if we had some sort of Geronimo and GEP "supported" page, where we listed recommended and compatible platforms, and/or statements about various java levels, and perhaps java versions/vendors.  The message could then reference that page.  Here, I presume Java 1.4 or lower does not work, but Java 1.6 probably works.

> While adding a server in Eclipse a message is displayed suggesting "Apache Geronio V2.1 is currently only certified on a 1.5 JVM. Use of any other version is not currently supported.". However as we have some fixes coming into GEP 2.1.2  which makes it work with Java 6 whereas G V2.1.2 is currently not supported on Java 6. There is a JIRA for this GERONIMO-4089 which is still in open state. Somehow this message is misleading about the Java support of GEP/G and users may end up using Java 5. Probably it can be modified or removed.
