Yes, but requiring Java 5 to build is not the same thing as setting the minimum runtime Java version to Java 5. Using something like animal sniffer we can make sure that we don't break the compatibility with older JDKs. However we might need to up the target version from 1.1 to 1.2 since there are no signatures available for Java 1.1. http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin/ > Gary > >> >>> * fix the open issues wrt thread safety >> >> Are there patches available for these issues? >> Which issues are we talking about? >> >>> * replace WeakHashtable with a WeakHashMap or a ConcurrentHashMap (see >>> LOGGING-119) >>> >>> What do you think? >>> >>> Thomas >>> >>> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >>> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >>> >> >> >> -- >> Dennis Lundberg >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> >> > > -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
