Niall Pemberton commented on IO-127:
------------------------------------
Stephen, I have tested that the compiler options work by building with maven
(tried both m1 and m2) under JDK 1.5 and then running a small test class using
JDK 1.3. If required I can commit this along with small ant script to run the
JDK 1.3 test
> Move to a minimum of JDK 1.4

> Key: IO-127
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-127
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Niall Pemberton
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.4
>
>
> There was a discussion a while back on moving Commons IO to a minimum JDK
> version of 1.4 - see [1] below. The majority view was this was a good idea.
> Jorg Schaible suggested[2] that the compiler options be kept at JDK 1.3 so
> that, apart from new JDK 1.4 dependant features, Commons IO would still
> operate under JDK 1.3. This seems like a good idea and resolves the issue of
> whether this would require a major version change.
> There was also a view that we should move to JDK 1.5 instead - I have no
> issue with that, but would advocate that theres no point in doing so until
> there are people wanting to commit JDK 1.5 dependant features.
> This change is targeted at Commons IO 1.4 - and a Commons IO 1.3 branch has
> been created for anyone still desiring future JDK 1.3 only releases.
