I think we should also upgrade the minimum java version required for Velocity if we create a 1.8 branch.
[javac] warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.4 [javac] warning: [options] source value 1.4 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release [javac] warning: [options] target value 1.4 is obsolete and will be removed in a future release [javac] warning: [options] To suppress warnings about obsolete options, use -Xlint:-options. Java 1.5 is probably ok, but honestly, I don't have any systems that have java 1.5 or 1.6 installed any more, and Oracle Java 1.6 is now EOL. I'd suggest we go with Java 1.7, but try to avoid (at least in the short term) usage new language features. Officially, support and release with 1.7 but unofficially let someone recompile it with 1.5? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
