I have it in the experimental for now since it requires jdk1.4.
I'm not sure what the standard jdk for projects is.
Aaron, the ASF doesn't have a "standard" JDK per say. It's up to each individual project to define that for itself. Most projects support the earliest version of JDK reasonable for the functionality they provide, go with a runtime dependency upon JRE 1.2 (I think that Ant is the only one still supporting JRE 1.1), with a variable compile-time dependency on JDK version. For instance, some classes in a project may require JDK 1.4 at compile-time, but examine what's available at runtime and fall back to an alternate implementation (e.g. JDK LinkedHashMap vs. Jakarta Commons SequencedHashMap).
I recommend against a hard runtime dependency upon JRE 1.4, for as much as we'd like to believe otherwise, there is a lot of production code out there which is written for and/or tested against older JREs which are unlikely to be upgraded any time soon. 1.2 is preferable, or 1.3 if it's too much trouble to swing that.
Travis has a way to either use this if you are running 1.4 or to fall back to a commons package. I need to make sure that fallback is ok or find another.
Yup, +1.
...I need more tests on how this LinkedHashMap performs. Travis is right that it makes the coed much cleaner, or at least there is less of us this way.
One very small problem is that there is no way to do a quiet get with
the LinkedHashMap.
