3.1.2 still doesn't work with JDK 1.5

[tmcginnis]

I just down loaded the 3.1.2 release of spring-security from Maven central and tried to use it in a JDK 1.5 project. But I am getting the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: (org/springframework/security/web/FilterChainProxy) bad major version at offset=6

I thought this was supposed to be fixed in 3.1.2?

The 3.1.2 release was performed using JDK 1.5, so it should be 1.5 compatibile. Are you certain that you are using spring-security-web-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar? How did you download it? If you used maven, what does your pom.xml look like?

I downloaded spring-security-web-3.1.2.RELEASE from maven central and FilterChainProxy is marked as major version of 49 which is Java 1.5. See below for the output of javap:

$ javap -verbose org/springframework/security/web/FilterChainProxy | head -n 15
Compiled from "FilterChainProxy.java"
public class org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy extends org.springframework.web.filter.GenericFilterBean
