----------------------------
Seems so. I took a quick glance in pom.xml on Github amd didn't notice any
especially old dependencies any more. Feel free to close and mark fixed.
> Unify Java 8 requirement or non-requirement

> Project: Apache Rat
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Assignee: Philipp Ottlinger
> Priority: Major

> In the pom.xml I find dependencies that are very old to avoid requiring Java
> *1.6* or later. However I also see commons-io 2.8.0 that requires Java *1.8*
> or later. Make a clear decision on the minimum version of Java and upgrade or
> downgrade dependencies accordingly.
> FYI Apache Maven requires Java 1.7 so I'd prefer not to go higher than that.
