G'day HttpClient is one of the many libraries that we depend on that will soon be removing support for Java 1.5. I'm thinking it might be a good idea to deprecate support for Java 1.5 in Gradle prior to releasing Gradle 2.0.
That way, while we won't _need_ to remove Java 1.5 support immediately with Gradle 2.0, neither will we need to wait until Gradle 3.0. Deprecation would send a message, and hopefully we'd hear from the community how widespread the usage is. Thoughts? Daz
