Java 1.4 for trunk. And this is only true for core tasks, optional tasks can set the barrier as high as they like to. http://ant.apache.org/faq.html#java-version > Anyway, this would need to be somehow finished and before I spend > the time to do it I'd like to ask whether you think this could be > useful for inclusion in Ant. If you find a way that allowed the current tasks to still be available for Java 1.4, yes, we'd be interested in the enhancement. If it made the tasks "1.5 only" then we'd practically remove those two tasks for JDK 1.4 users. > The modification itself is not large, but if I must use only > reflection to access non-1.2 classes, it could get messy. No reason to use reflection for everything. You could extract some sort of interface that is implemented once for JAXP 1.3 and once for the current code base. Add conditional compilation for JAXP 1.3 and try to load that (via reflection) at runtime, falling back to the old-style implementation. So yes, there'd be reflection, but just for loading a single class.
