Which is what I just did; I fixed the test code so it still compiled with Java 1.5.

The point is that most Commons components are intended for wide re-use. Unnecessarily restricting the field of use is plain wrong in my opiniong. > Matt > On Mar 1, 2014 11:34 AM, "Benedikt Ritter" <brit...@apache.org> wrote: > >> If it's only test code, I'm hesitant to move to Java 6.
