Julian Reschke commented on JCR-2406:
-------------------------------------
OK, here's a concrete proposal (cc [~anchela] and [~tripod]):
1) Identify all classes that extend hc3 APIs and refactor them so that most of
the code is moved into hc-agnostic utility classes (this reduces the size of
the code we need to worry about)
2) Add hc4-based counterparts of everything we need to get rid of long-term.
3) Deprecate the hc3-based classes
4) Switch our own code to use the new hc4-based classes
5) Remove the hc3-based classes
Timing:
- it would be good to get 3) done before we release 2.14
- we should try to do 5) before we release 2.16
Feedback appreciated.
> Upgrade httpclient dependency to 4.0
> ------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-2406
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2406
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jackrabbit-jcr-server, jackrabbit-spi2dav
> Reporter: Sébastien Launay
>
> Httpclient is one of these libs that tends to be pulled by another third
> party lib and often with conflicted versions (in a traditional environment
> contrary to OSGi).
> Upgrading from 3.0 to 4.0 allows applications to use both Jackrabbit and the
> latest release of HttpClient.
> As discussed in JCR-2389, this is a sensitive task as it can introduce
> regression.
