Basically I am +1 on moving to newer JDKs. But in this case I just see use for old and older applications. That said, I just checked and saw tomcat is still using commons-logging: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/trunk/build.xml Maybe Mark will comment here. That said, if we level up the jdk depedency we should also bump the major version number Cheers > Thomas > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org > -- http://www.grobmeier.de https://www.timeandbill.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
