Sebb commented on RAT-59:
-------------------------
Note that Java 5 is required for the Maven 2.2.1 and Maven 3.x; many plugins
also require it.
One can use profiles to ensure that an earlier version of Java is used for
compilation and testing, so I don't think there's any need to support versions
of Java earlier than 1.5 for the Maven plugin. [Apache Commons uses such
profiles]
For stand-alone RAT, there's also no need to support earlier versions.
> Upgrade To Java 1.5

> Java 1.4 is now deprecated and more libraries are now switching to Java 1.5.
> RAT 0.6 is satisfactory, so users requiring 1.4 can continue to use that
> version.
