Sorry I wasn't clear. My feeling is that if we are upgrading to Java 5 then we should do it correctly. Go ahead and break compatibility where required. In that view the changes done to the Comparables were done correctly. I suspect they will cause very few problems in any case. Since we have changed the package name and artifactId I just wouldn't worry about it. I agree we should remove the deprecated APIs - there don't appear to be many of them - although I do find myself wondering why in AbstractFileObject doSetLastModifiedTime was deprecated in favor of doSetLastModTime. I actually prefer the former name. Ralph
