Re: [VOTE] Requiring JDK 1.2

[robert burrell donkin]

JDK 1.1 support has always been a positive feature of log4j but i can understand the arguments for switching future releases to JDK1.2.

as a consideration to users who require JDK1.1 support, it would be nice to keep the 1.2 release series in cold storage. a link to the latest log4j 1.2 release on the web site would be good and it would also be nice to keep the log4j 1.2 alive (somewhere) in cvs so that (if necessary) bugs could be fixed.

I am also not a committer, but I am a prolific user. I am +1, as log4j < 1.3 is full of features and stable.

Thanks Ceki and crew,

Starting with log4j 1.3 I think the timing would be
appropriate to drop JDK
1.1 support.

Hello all,

Given the hoops we have to jump through in order to support
JDK 1.1 and
given the limiteed the resources at our disposal, I propose
to drop support
for JDK 1.1 and require JDK 1.2 as of log4j version 1.3. This
will result in
cleaner code and some problems faced by our users will automagically
disappear. For example, the NDC.remove method is required
only because JDK
1.1 does not support ThreadLocal variables. NDC.remove can be a pita:

development%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg309
06.html

Anyway, here is my +1 for requiring JDK 1.2 as of log4j version 1.3.
