Hello Maarten,
For me the main reason why I initially proposed EOLing 1.9.x branch (and
releases) is because creating new fixes for it and then releasing it is
becoming cumbersome. Java APIs have moved on from the Java 5 days a long
way (even just comparing against Java 8 itself). What that means
Hi Stefan,
could you explain a bit more why we should EOL the 1.9.x branch?
Personally, I think it's a mistake to abondon the Java 5 support.
I think there are still projects around targetting java 5, 6 or 7 using Ant as
build tool.
For instance, one of the reasons we are still using Ant 1.9.x
+1 if that counts. I don't think there's much use of Java 7- nowadays,
especially when networked.

It looks as if the vote will simply not pass because of a lack of
participation - which is certainly fine. Unless we get more binding
votes, I'll close the vote as failed soon.
Mayby we should have discussed the motion here before I created the
vote. Therefore I have created this separate thread.
