Thiruvalluvan M. G. commented on AVRO-597:
------------------------------------------
Do we want to set the requirement to "Avro requires JDK 1.5 or later to build"
or "Avro requires JRE 1.5 or later to run"? If the choose the former, the patch
is good. But if we choose the latter, just replacing Array.copyOf() with
ArrayUtil.copyOf() should be sufficient.
I personally choose the second requirement. That's if one needs to build or
modify Avro, he/she needs JDK 1.6. But Avro jar file can be used with JRE 1.5.
> Avro should be usable from JDK 1.5 programs
