For concurrency, you can use Doug Lea's util.concurrent package, which is what Java 5's equivalent is based on.

http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html

If you use Java 5, you can use Scanner on the various streams supplied by HttpClient, without requiring that it be built into the core.

For arguments about NIO and performance, I'd prefer to see the feature set proposed in the HttpClient 4 proposal; once that's done, maybe make another "high performance" release.

Lovely debate! :-)

I would vote for 1.5! The java.util.concurrent package is brilliant
and could be utilized. There's also the Scanner class!. :-) .
Developers who want to use the old JDK's should use the current or
older versions. If the new language features and libraries can make
life easier it makes sense to use 1.5 for the latest and greatest.

Thanks for a terrific library!
