Hi all
I would like to gauge support for a release of Commons::Net 2.0. The
major changes are:
* FTPS (SSL/TLS) support has been added
* FTPClient doesnt extend TelnetClient any longer
* The build now uses Maven 2
* [net] is now standalone - no external dependencies outside the JDK itself
* One new FTP parser (Netware) has been added, and the MVS parser has
been heavily updated
* A mini "FTP-only" jar (~ 90k) is available for clients who just need
FTP functionality
* Deprecated classes and methods have been removed
A full list of changes can be found here:

I have made the distribution (*unsigned* as yet) available for inspection:
http://people.apache.org/~rwinston/commons-net-2.0/
And the site is available:

Thanks
Rory

I am not ready to vote yet on this until there is a discussion about what this
release means. Will commons-net-2.0 become the "official" release, with
previous versions relegated to "backward compatibility" support? If so, this
may be premature as Sun is still supporting JDK-1.4.2-x.
But I don't think we should stand in the way of progress either. Rory, can you
comment on what are the specific new features that demand JDK 5.0 support?
How have other jakarta-commons projects handled this? Are there any official
versions that require 1.5? Are there projects that have two "official" releases?
