I did a little research on our versions of Apache dependencies in trunk. Some are quite out of date and it might be worth considering updates or upgrades.
For Discussion: (1) Apache Commons Codec update from 1.9 to 1.15? https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-codec/changes-report.html#a1.15 /trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/> Only media wiki? (2) Apache Commons HttpClient 3.1 upgrade to Apache HttpClient 4.5 https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/download.html https://downloads.apache.org/httpcomponents/httpclient/RELEASE_NOTES-4.5.x.txt /trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/> /trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/src/com/sun/star/wiki/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/src/com/sun/star/wiki/> (3) Apache Commons Lang 3.3 update to 3.8 (last with Java 7 support) https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/changes-report.html https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/changes-report.html#a3.7 /trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/swext/mediawiki/> /trunk/main/connectivity/java/dbtools/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/connectivity/java/dbtools/> /trunk/main/connectivity/java/sdbc_jdbc/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/connectivity/java/sdbc_jdbc/> (4) Apache Logging 1.1.3 update to 1.2 (not much) https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-logging/changes-report.html Widespread in Java (5) Apache Tomcat 5.5.36 (this is the final 5.5 release) upgrade to version 7 or 8(?) \servletapi\jsr154\dist\lib\servlet-api.jar /trunk/main/odk/examples/java/ConverterServlet/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/odk/examples/java/ConverterServlet/> (6) Apache Lucene 2.9.4 upgrade to 8.7.0 (?) https://lucene.apache.org/core/corenews.html#apache-lucenetm-870-available What is the latest to support Java 7? /trunk/main/xmlhelp/java/LuceneHelpWrapper/src/main/java/com/sun/star/help/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/xmlhelp/java/LuceneHelpWrapper/src/main/java/com/sun/star/help/> (7) Apache Serf 1.2.1 upgrade to 1.3.9 (?) http://serf.apache.org/abi/timeline/serf/index.html http://serf.apache.org/abi/changelog/serf/1.3.0/log.html (switched to scons) http://serf.apache.org/abi/changelog/serf/1.3.9/log.html (100% backward compatible) /trunk/main/ucb/source/ucp/webdav/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/ucb/source/ucp/webdav/> /trunk/main/scp2/source/ooo/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/scp2/source/ooo/> (8) Apache APR and APR-util 1.5.4 upgrade to 1.6.1 (?) https://downloads.apache.org/apr/CHANGES-APR-UTIL-1.6 http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr-util/branches/1.5.x/CHANGES?view=markup /trunk/main/scp2/source/ooo/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/scp2/source/ooo/> /trunk/main/ucb/source/ucp/webdav/ <http://opengrok.openoffice.org/openoffice/xref/trunk/main/ucb/source/ucp/webdav/>
