Therefore, I think the solution for this is for Jakarta Commons Net to
take Rory Winston's suggestion and start a new branch of Commons Net
for JDK 1.4 only (for this and other reasons) and maintain two
branches for awhile, the current HEAD branch for 1.3 compatibility and
the new branch for 1.4. The new branch can use the javax.ssl.net
classes, the old one can use com.sun.net.
+1
Since we're going to branch anyway and in light of Steve's discoveries about
JSSE 1.0.3, this seems like the easiest way to handle the situation.

Daniel, before we vote, I think we need a formal motion to vote on,
especially in light of your "obsoleted" comments in the other thread.
I think the proposal on the floor is to do two things
A) a commons-net 1.5 containing fixes for any outstanding bugs and
incorporating Josejuan Montiel and Paul Ferraro's FTPS code. This code
would depend on com.sun.ssl.net classes. It would be the last release
supporting JDKs < 1.4
B) a commons-net 2.0 (possibly a different project) that would require
jdk 1.4 compatibility, including modifying the FTPS code to use
javax.ssl.net, the nio extensions, and using java 1.4's regex which
would have the one small advantage of reducing dependency on other jars
which periodically rears its head as an issue.
While I'm generally in favor of this, I still don't think its ready for
a vote because of "possibly a different project", which is too vague.
One more thing, we would need Paul Ferraro to sign a "Software Grant"
which was mentioned about a week ago by Cliff Schmidt. I am trying to
get details on this.
