-----------------------------------------
Summary: Unify Java 8 requirement or non-requirement
Key: RAT-283
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RAT-283
Project: Apache Rat
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
In the pom.xml I find dependencies that are very old to avoid requiring Java
*1.6* or later. However I also see commons-io 2.8.0 that requires Java *1.8* or
later. Make a clear decision on the minimum version of Java and upgrade or
downgrade dependencies accordingly.
FYI Apache Maven requires Java 1.7 so I'd prefer not to go higher than that.
```
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-collections</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-collections</artifactId>
<!-- Later versions require Java 1.6+ -->
<version>3.2.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-io</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-lang3</artifactId>
<!-- later versions require Java 1.6+ -->
<version>3.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.commons</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-compress</artifactId>
<!-- later versions require Java 1.6+ -->
<version>1.19</version>
</dependency>
```
