As I said, I won't vote against stoping support for JDK1.1 forDon't forget the Microsoft J++ and J# implementations which are stuck in the JDK 1.1 timewarp. Ant does run last time I checked with the Microsoft VM, but I haven't tried building with J#. JDK 1.1 support avoids having somebody splitting off a Ant wannabe in C#.
ant1.6 - as long as the interfaces remain compatible ( well, for backward compat the existing interfaces can't change anyway ).
My real concern is not the Sun JDK1.1, which is of historic interest.
Until recently Kaffe and GCJ didn't support 1.2. Same for
important OSes ( like BSD ). And Kaffe and GCJ are important because they actually deliver
what Sun promises - the 'run anywhere' part. ( including Linux/SPARC,ARM,MIPS, BSD/all kind of processors, etc ).
I could see abandoning JDK 1.1 support concurrent with rearchitecting, but that would imply a major version bump to 2.0 in my mind.
Is there a feature list for Ant 1.6?
I wouldn't drop JDK 1.1 support for unless there was a desirable, significant contribution that would be substantially complicated by striving for JDK 1.1 compatibility.
