http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34942 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-08-11 06:38 ------- Works great! One issue with the downloads page. It says commons-httpclient-2.0 and later. Except that commons-vfs won't compile with commons-httpclient-3.0.... WebdavConnectionManager fails to compile because it extends HttpConnectionManager from commons-httpclient, but doesn't implement the abstract method "getParams()" which, apparently, is a new method added to HttpConnectionManager in 3.0 (RC2 is what I'm looking at right now). WebdavConnectionManager should either implement that method for the sake of forward compatibility or the note should be changed to "commons-httpclient-2.x.x only". However, I would think that compatibility with 3.0 would be desired moving forward. After all, someone might want to use 3.0 along with VFS in a project and run into jar hell. Also, you build against commons-net-1.4.0 according to project.xml. However, you state in downloads that 1.2.1 is the minimum. If you are willing to go against 1.4.0, then you could get rid of deprecation warnings by using the non-deprecated API which uses an FTPClientConfig object in FTPClientWrapper.java. I have a patch if you want it. Anyway, the point is, it seems to me that you should keep the dependency versions defined in download.xml in sync with those in project.xml. Otherwise you might end up fooling yourself and users by breaking backward compatibility with asserted library versions without realizing it. Thoughts? Now, one more thing. I'd like to add Ant-1.6+ antlib functionality. We'd keep the tasks.properties file around for those that reference it, but we'd also add an "antlib.xml". This allows for all the functionality that is provided by Antlib... http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTypes/antlib.html It simply looks like this (this file would be called "antlib.xml")... <antlib> <taskdef resource="org/apache/commons/vfs/tasks/tasks.properties"/> </antlib> This would be added to the same "tasks" package where tasks.properties and all the VFS Ant tasks exist. Would you mind adding this? It certainly won't hurt anyone and it will help me and others wanting to use the antlib constructs. Thanks!
