Should the Java version not be a setting of the application instead of a preference setting?
1
Now that Java is cranking up it's versions we encounter the problem that we carefully have to manage the preference settings. Currently most of our customers are on Java 6 but one customer is using Java7 due to TLS 1.2 which is a pain in Java 6 and 8 already has beta support from Mendix. So we started cleaning up our code to make sure it also works in 7. But since this is a preference setting of the modeller mistakes are made easily. Should this setting not be transferred to the server setting? Because then I could support the main line in Java 6 while a have a branch where I can update the code to 7 and choose a different server setting for this. Regards, Ronald
