Re: [Swarm-Support] swarmapps-objc-2.2 test version available

Ah, the jdk version problem rears its ugly head.  The first thing is 
that the version number you use has to be exact. 2000 is the "epoch", it 
is a hidden tag the put in at Sun, I think because they want to make me 
angry.  I have not found a way from the command line to find the epoch, 
but I have found that "synaptic", a graphical rpm manager, is able to 
see the epoch and it reports the version as 2000:1.5.0_01 or something 
like that.  Assuming your RPM has the same epoch, you should set the 
required version as 2000:1.5.0_01, not 2000:1.5.0 as the error message 
below makes me suspect you did.

IF that does not work, then we have to try a little harder to see if 
your jdk has the epoch stamp just like mine does.  If it does not, then 
you would just omit the 2000: part from the version number.

Just a warning.  While testing StarLogo, I found jdk1 .5.0 performed 
undependably.  Swarm will not even build with that jdk on Fedora Core 2. 
  So I'm ratcheting back to 1.4.2_07.
