Gary Gregory commented on LANG-1389:
------------------------------------
Looking at JavaVersion and SystemUtils, the code still seems useful, even the
JavaVersion enum. It just need to be re-implemented with Java 9. Certainly
methods like {{org.apache.commons.lang3.SystemUtils.IS_JAVA_1_8}} do not need
to go away, same for JavaVersion. It is nicer to write a switch on an enum than
an int IMO.
Thoughts?
> Deprecate JavaVersion in favor of java.lang.Runtime.Version
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LANG-1389
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1389
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: lang.*
> Affects Versions: 3.7
> Reporter: Michael Osipov
> Priority: Major
>
> With the rapid release cycle of Java {{JavaVersion}} does not really work
> anymore. We at Maven have constant issues with our subprojects for missing
> Java version in {{JavaVersion}} enum. To solve this problem, Commons Lang
> must be release at least every six months and we have re-release all affected
> components. Since this does not scale, I would recommend to deprecate this
> enum in favor of {{java.lang.Runtime.Version}} or have a better non-enum
> approach to it.
