Hi Daz No formal decision has been taken yet, however I think it is almost certain we will no longer support Java 1.5 for HC 4.4 series. I also do not think HttpClient should requite Java 1.7. This is more likely to happen for HttpAsyncClient though due to NIO2. Upstream projects will be consulted in any case. Regardless of what happens in HC 4.4 I can assure you that HC 4.3 will be supported as long as Gradle depends on it (if need be, simply out of my personal utter admiration for Gradle).
