(posting from nabble as I've lost the thread in my inbox) I want to revive using Java 6 this for trunk. Java 5 is dead, no only is forcing projects to update to the trunk stream from VFS 2.0.
In addition to the list below: - Make VFS more attractive for new user/developers, new committers in the 21st century. No one can force anyone to upgrade to the next version. - Keep VFS relevant. The older versions are still there for volunteers to patch. - Open the door for newer versions of jars that required Java 6, like commons-io 2.3. *I want to use Java 6 @Override on more methods which I find extremely helpful.* Thank you, Gary -- On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 9:20 AM, Ralph Goers <[hidden email]> wrote: > Thanks.
