Looking into this further, it seems that jakarta-oro-2.0.1 is the most recent oro version that is executable under JDK-1.1 JVMs (actually, this applies only to Perl5Compiler, which seems to be the only jakarta-oro class that is both used by commons-net and incompatible with jdk 1.1). I haven't fully analyzed jakarta-oro, only those classes used by net. Question - primarily for Daniel: Do you think it makes sense to dial back to using jakarta-oro-2.0.1 in commons-net.1.1.1 to preserve JDK 1.1. compatibility? What features/bug fixes would be lost? Unless we either do this or rewrite, we don't have a version that works under 1.1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
