Hi, Commons IO trunk is already using Java 5 features (which is nice), but I was wondering about how we can make the next IO release usable in environments that still run Java 1.4. For example I've just added a few extra classes (see IO-192 and IO-193) that I'd like to start using in projects like Apache Jackrabbit that still target Java 1.4 as the base platform.
One option that we use in Apache Tika is the Maven retrotranslator plugin. It produces an extra retrotranslated version of the jar artifact for use in Java 1.4 environments. Another option is to maintain a separate branch for a Java 1.4 (or older) version of Commons IO. Any thoughts on this?
