Alternate for JLayer in JRE6?


I am creating an application in Java and for some reasons, I have to target the Java 6.

And I really liked the JLayer functionality, but unfortunately it was added in Java 7. So, is there any alternate for JLayer in Java 6?

Can I use JLayer source code in my own application, if it's not dependent on other Java 7 features that are not in Java 6?

Or can I use JXLayer? Is it the same as JLayer or different in some regards?

If I don't want to include whole SwingX project jar for just JXLayer, what are the other options?


Solution

  • JXLayer 3.0 is what JLayer is based on and I use extensively in our Java 6 based project (which is moving to Java 8, but we'll still use it as its not worth our effort to replace it as it does the jlob we need)
