Good point. In general, the examples should also baseline jdk1.2. If there is a specific reason for using a 1.3 or 1.4 feature in some case, than that would be OK as long as its clearly stated.
We would have to deal with that on a compilation level somehow as well.

I have no problem compiling HttpClient with JDK 1.2.2 + JCE 1.2.2 + JSSE
1.0.3.01, as well as test cases. However, several examples require newer
JDK: PostXML, ClientApp, MultiPartUploadApp. Do you think examples
should also be JDK 1.2.2 compatible? I tend to believe they should

Cheers

Agreed. If we were building an application, then we could arbitrairly decide to use whichever jre version that was most suitable. But we are not building an application, we are building a framework. As a result we must support the lowest reasonable version. This has always been jre1.2.x

Which reminds me, next time I better actually compile the release build with 1.2 ... I'll update the release process.

I am also of opinion that for the time being Java 1.2.2 should be
considered the lowest common denominator. Doing otherwise would
completely preclude several major platforms from being able to run
HttpClient. Please correct me if I err, but as far as I know IBM only
supports Java 1.3.1 on its operating systems (such as AIX), with IBM
Java 1.4.1 still being in beta. Mac OS X does not support Java 1.4.1
either, at least not yet. The use of Java 1.4.1 specific features should
be ruled out for a few years to come (IMHO)
