The interesting quesiton is, what happens if net 1.4 is on the classpath? I'd guess the provider is also auto-registered, but will crash at some point ... > I agree this is probably just a documentation issue. Don't > know if it should be a blocker. If the application will crash, just because net 1.4 is on the classpath, it is a blocker. If an application can run as logn as it does not use the stuff requiring net 2.0, it's unfortunate, but documentation is enough. _ Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
