Eclipse Gynamide and JDK compatibility

Question

i am using JDK1.4.2_02 on my system, which is required to run my ATG Dynamo server. I have tried to run Eclipse 'Ganymede'-( 3.4/3.4.2). But facing problem, its asking to use JDK1.5, which I cant use. Since ATG Dynamodosent run on JDK1.5 .

I googled and found that Eclipse 3.2 / Callisto is compatible with JDK 1.4.2, but its not available in our software list. The only older version availabe is Eclipse 'Ganymede'-( 3.4/3.4.2).

Is there any way to use Eclipse 'Ganymede'-( 3.4/3.4.2) with JDK 1.4.2_02.

Answer 1

If it is not compatible then you won't be able to run it with Java 4.

But why don't you install two JVM versions on your server? You could have Java 4 to run your ATG Dynamo server and a more recent JVM to run Eclipse.

Moreover why can't you run your ATG dynamo server with a more recent JVM? AFAIK JVMs are backward compatible.
