RFE: Using JDK 1.4 LinkedHashMap instead of commons LRUMap

           Summary: RFE: Using JDK 1.4 LinkedHashMap instead of commons
                    LRUMap
           Product: Velocity
           Version: 1.0-Release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Source
        AssignedTo: velocity-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: doug@dougandalli.com


In release target 1.5 you mention switching to jakarta-commons LRUMap for caching.

Velocity should decrease its dependency on 3rd-party jars, not increase them! Use JDK1.4 
java.util.LinkedHashMap instead!

Since 1.4 has been out for months, and you are just now releasing RC1 of Velocity 1.4, by the time 
you get Velocity 1.5 out the door you shouldn't have to worry about development on pre-1.4 JDKs.

We love Velocity, but hate the many other Jakarta projects that rely on so many 3rd-party jars 
(beanutils, collections, logging, lang, etc.) that have a tendency to cause version conflicts with 
libraries in use in a project.
