At least _if_ HttpClient does end up using Doug Lea's util.concurrent package, it will eventually be a fairly painless port to Java 1.5's java.util.concurrent. Unfortunately, for now I have to agree with the arguments from others here against HttpClient requiring java 1.5+.
Although it's interesting that Tomcat 5.5 requires Java 1.5, or alternatively, has a set of JARs you can use to make it run in java 1.4. I'm not sure if that's worth the extra complexity or not -- any opinions on this? -chris On Fri, 21 Jan 2005 16:46:45 +0530, Tarun Ramakrishna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 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 > > From Doug Lea's page: > http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html > , it states > "Note: Upon release of J2SE 5.0, this package enters maintenance mode: > Only essential corrections will be released.
