[IO] Move to a minimum of JDK 1.4?
There are a couple of Jira tickets which require JDK 1.4
IO-74[1] - Regular Expression IOFileFilter implementation
IO-77[2] - FileUtils.move() method that uses NIO
Are there any objections to moving Commons IO's minimum requirement to
JDK 1.4 for Commons IO 1.4?

When you say "support" do you mean two active versions under
development or the moving the main development to JDK 1.5 with a JDK
1.3 branch mainly for bug fixes?
I don't have a problem with moving to JDK 1.5 - but are you talking
evolutionary or revolutionaty (i.e. binary incompatible, package name
change etc.) here? Like Jochen IMO it would be better if you expand on
your intention.

They could, but Its not something I'd be interested in doing.

I do not understand your intention.

My preference would be to support JDK1.3 and JDK1.5 versions, rather
than JDK1.4.
If desired, these calls can be implemented using reflection, so they
work on JDK1.4 but not on JDK1.3.

It not that you can commons-io no longer use with JDK 1.3 it is inly that
you simply can no longer use any part of it. This works for other libs
quite perfectly, why should c-io be an exception?
- Jörg
BTW: +1 on JDK 1.4, but use target 1.3 as compiler option

I would expect a JDK change to be a major version number change.

It seems like a nice coincidence that IO 1.3 is based on JRE 1.3, and we could have IO 1.4 based on JRE 1.4, IO 1.5 on JRE 1.5 ;)

Sounds good. I've read the rest of the thread -- probably good to
branch regardless of whether both lines are under active
(evolutionary, in my mind) development or not. If someone shows up
with desire to do a point / bugfix release for JDK 1.3 etc.

+1 here
(Selfish POV: The product I work on now requires Java 1.4 already)
