Codehaus Cargo 1.5.1 is ready - Our last version to support Java 5

Dear enthusiasts

Codehaus Cargo 1.5.1, which comes with the below fixes and improvements, it now ready:

  • General
  • Containers - Jetty
    • [CARGO-1400] - Make the timeout for JettyRemoteDeployer configurable
  • Containers - JBoss EAP / WildFly
  • Containers - Tomcat
  • Containers - WebLogic
    • [CARGO-1402] - Add support for context path configuration for WebLogic
  • Containers - WildFly
    • [CARGO-1403] - Add support for JMS resources in WildFly
    • [CARGO-1404] - Add support for Email resources in WildFly
    • [CARGO-1405] - Add support for CLI scripts in Wildfly

To try it out:

Important note: Codehaus Cargo 1.5.1 is expected to be our last version to support Java 5. The reasons for this are numerous:

  • Java 5 is old, very old, and its extended support ended in May 2015
  • Java 5 requires a lot of extra libraries, for example for XML, which increases the number of dependencies for Codehaus Cargo greatly
  • The Java 9 compiler won't generate any Java 5 code anymore

Enjoy!
