i vote for option (3)
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag von Niklas Gustavsson Gesendet: Donnerstag, 22. November 2007 15:18 An: ftpserver-dev@incubator.apache.org Betreff: Re: Java 1.4 and 1.5 That was excellent timing, I had a draft of pretty much the same email sitting waiting for completion tonight :-) My vote is on 3 and I'm willing to continue apply patches for the 1.4 branch. But, I would like to drop 1.4 support for trunk since there are tons of places where we could remove our somewhat crappy code for much better patterns introduced by MINA. If we agree on this way forward, I will make the changes this weekend. /niklas Dave Roberts wrote: > We currently have the situation where the project builds and works > with either JVM, although 1.5 is required for the SSL tests. > > Due to the need for 1.4 compatibility, we're using the 1.0.x code > branch of MINA, the latest being 1.0.7. > > It's currently not possible to switch to the 1.1.x branch of MINA > without making some code changes, to make use of the > java.util.concurrent classes, rather than the ones provided in the > backport-util-concurrent JAR. > > Certainly for me this has now become a problem where I've needed to > change the FTP Server code to move forwards and make use of MINA > 1.1.4.
