Move to a minimum of JDK 1.4
----------------------------
Key: IO-127
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-127
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Niall Pemberton
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.4
There was a discussion a while back on moving Commons IO to a minimum JDK
version of 1.4 - see [1] below. The majority view was this was a good idea.
Jorg Schaible suggested[2] that the compiler options be kept at JDK 1.3 so
that, apart from new JDK 1.4 dependant features, Commons IO would still operate
under JDK 1.3. This seems like a good idea and resolves the issue of whether
this would require a major version change.
There was also a view that we should move to JDK 1.5 instead - I have no issue
with that, but would advocate that theres no point in doing so until there are
people wanting to commit JDK 1.5 dependant features.
This change is targeted at Commons IO 1.4 - and a Commons IO 1.3 branch has
been created for anyone still desiring future JDK 1.3 only releases.
