A mixture of reasons: - I'd like to use modern syntax. While I wouldn't mass change anything (see other thread) there are many cases in the current code base that could be clearer or have reduced code. - the other commons modules have moved and there is value to consistency -- Eitan Adler - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org

Re: [validator] moving to jdk 8 / git?
(please make sure to include me directly on email; the Apache Commons Dev list appears to be broken) In terms of moving to JDK 8, it seems like it it'd warrant more of a discussion first. Other Commons projects wanted to a do a "final release" for the previous JDK version. I'm not sure if I could help shepherd that or not. In terms of moving to git: while github PRs for mirrored repositories are alright, it'd be better if the canonical repo was in git, so you don't lose fidelity by transferring between systems. This also does not seem like something viable to do via a PR.

The best way to contribute is with GitHub PRs here: https://github.com/apache/commons-validator/ Gary On Thu, Sep 27, 2018 at 2:30 PM Eitan Adler wrote: > I'd like to make some simple changes to Commons Validator.
