supported jre version [was Re: Propose a new commons-uri package]
Agreed. If we were building an application, then we could arbitrairly
decide to use whichever jre version that was most suitable. But we are
not building an application, we are building a framework. As a result
we must support the lowest reasonable version. This has always been
jre1.2.x
Which reminds me, next time I better actually compile the release build
with 1.2 ... I'll update the release process.

Good point. In general, the examples should also baseline jdk1.2. If
there is a specific reason for using a 1.3 or 1.4 feature in some case,
than that would be OK as long as its clearly stated.
We would have to deal with that on a compilation level somehow as well.

I have no problem compiling HttpClient with JDK 1.2.2 + JCE 1.2.2 + JSSE
1.0.3.01, as well as test cases. However, several examples require newer
JDK: PostXML, ClientApp, MultiPartUploadApp. Do you think examples
should also be JDK 1.2.2 compatible? I tend to believe they should
