Holger Hoffstätte commented on AVRO-771:
----------------------------------------
Great to see these updates, but one question. Why do you want to keep using slf
1.5 which has some pretty nasty bugs? IIRC the "binary incompatibility" was
between the various slf modules themselves and only in rare cases involved user
code. Using 1.6 will make integration with other packages & applications a lot
easier and future-proof, see: http://slf4j.org/manual.html#libraries
> Java: Upgrade dependencies for 1.5.0

> This is the 'mvn versions:display-dependency-updates'
> The following dependencies in Dependency Management are using the newest
> version:
> [INFO] net.sf.jopt-simple:jopt-simple ...................................
> 3.2
> [INFO] org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core .................................
> 0.20.2
> [INFO]
> [INFO] The following dependencies in Dependency Management have newer
> versions:
> [INFO] com.thoughtworks.paranamer:paranamer ................ 2.3 ->
> 2.3-debug
> [INFO] org.apache.velocity:velocity ...................... 1.6.4 ->
> 1.7-beta1
> [INFO] org.codehaus.jackson:jackson-mapper-asl ............... 1.4.2 ->
> 1.7.3
> [INFO] org.jboss.netty:netty ..................... 3.2.1.Final ->

> [INFO] The following dependencies in Dependencies have newer versions:
> [INFO] junit:junit ........................................... 4.8.1 ->
> 4.8.2
> [INFO] org.slf4j:slf4j-api .................................. 1.5.11 ->
> 1.6.1
> [INFO] org.slf4j:slf4j-simple ............................... 1.5.11 ->
> 1.6.1
> We should consider a newer Jackson version, at least the latest 1.4.x, but
> perhaps higher.
> Junit is a trivial upgrade.
> slf4j has some changes affecting compatibility (but is API compatible) in
> 1.6.x. We may want to delay that one.
> Jetty and Netty can be upgraded.
> The most important one above is Jackson since it is the most likely to have
> classpath collisions. Even though we do not use features from newer
> versions, it might be wise to move to that.
> For plugins, there are these updates:
> [INFO] The following plugin updates are available:
> [INFO] maven-surefire-plugin ................................ 2.7.1 -> 2.7.2
> [INFO] org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin ...................... 1.1 -> 1.2
> Both of which seem minor by their release notes.
> (see mvn versions:help for more useful tools)
