Re: Plugin Compatibility

Um, sorry, I've been out of this thread for a bit.

Are you compiling your plug-in with Java 8 or Java 7?

Java apps are forward compatible but not backwards compatible.

If you compile at Java 7, the code will (generally) work in Java 8.
If you compile at Java 8, the code will *NOT* work in Java 8.

RDi 9.1 uses Java 7 ... RDi 9.5 uses Java 8.

Are there errors other than class not found?
