For Ivy we should stick to the same minimal JDK version as Ant. (JDK 1.5) For IvyDE we could upgrade to the mimimal JDK version required for Eclipse. (JDK 1.6)
So: [ ] we should continue to support Java 1.4 [X] we should make Ivy require Java 5 [X] we should make IvyDE require Java 6 Maarten ________________________________ Van: Jan Matèrne (jhm) <apa...@materne.de> Aan: 'Ant Developers List' <dev@ant.apache.org> Verzonden: maandag 2 september 15:40 2013 Onderwerp: AW: Java version of Ivy/IvyDE > I would vote for supporting Java 6 and then indicating on the website > which ant + ivy/ivyDE version combination is needed to support pre-JDK > 1.6 environments, especially given the argument about Ant requiring > more recent JDK version. +1 Like [1] for Ant. > > As discussed with the Java requirement of Ant, Java 5 is deprecated > too, and I for instance cannot run it anymore on my machine.

[ ] we should continue to support Java 1.4 [ ] we should make Ivy and IvyDE require Java 5 [X] we should make Ivy and IvyDE require Java 6 As Jesse pointed out in [2] the actuals IDEs are requiring newer Java versions. IvyDE is an IDE plugin so follow that. For Ivy go the way as Ant wanted to go (but hasnt voted yet).
