Ignat Alexeyenko created COLLECTIONS-527:
--------------------------------------------
Summary: Please create a version commons-collections 3.x for jdk 8
compatibility
Key: COLLECTIONS-527
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-527
Project: Commons Collections
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ignat Alexeyenko
Priority: Blocker
Attachments: COLLECTIONS_3_2_BRANCH_COLLECTIONS_527.patch
Could you make a 3.x or 3.2.x
{code}
org.apache.commons.collections.MultiHashMap {
public Object remove(Object key, Object item);
}
{code}
is not compatible with JDK's 8 Map
{code}
java.util.Map {
boolean remove(Object key, Object value);
}
{code}
*Reasoning*
JDK 8 is here and being adopted. collection-commons are not yet compatible with
Java 8. For many big project switch to commons-collections 4.x is not an option
- some transitional release needs to be required.
Alternative would be for companies to fork commons-collections and create their
internal artifact. Why do it if the official compatibility version can be
created?
Thanks!
