I just did a quick check, and it looks like this question was silly (sorry). Apparently, using java -target 1.4 also requires java -source 1.4 which would fail due to all the Generics and Annotations in the code. It does seem, though, that any adopter of Commons Net 2.0 could use Retroweaver to change the Commons Net bytecode into something that an 1.4 JVM can understand -- and it should work quite fine since it looks like the usage of "enum" in examples/TftpServer.java is the only real dependency on an 1.5-only class ("Enum" which is emulated by Retroweaver): http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/ Cheers, -- Martin Oberhuber, Senior Member of Technical Staff, Wind River Target Management Project Lead, DSDP PMC Member http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm > > Cheers, > -- > Martin Oberhuber, Senior Member of Technical Staff, Wind River > Target Management Project Lead, DSDP PMC Member > http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Rory Winston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 8:53 AM > > To: Jakarta Commons Developers List > > Subject: [net] 2.0 Release Ready For Review > > > > Hi all > > > > The RC for net-2.0 is available for review at: > > > > http://people.apache.org/~rwinston/commons-net-2.0 > > > > Changes are here: > > > > http://people.apache.org/~rwinston/commons-net-2.0/site/change > > s-report.html#a2.0 > > > > Can someone take a look at the RC and see if there are any > issues?
