Java 1.2 compatibility for the 'contrib' code
Folks,
We have a long standing policy of requiring Java 1.2 compatibility for
all code contributions to HttpClient including those that end up in the
'contrib' package. This policy prevents us from accepting the SPNEGO
auth scheme contributed by Mikael Wikström into Commons HttpClient code
repository.
We have two options:
(1) stick to the policy and include Mikael's code into HttpComponents
HttpAuth module, eventually to be released as a component of Jakarta
HttpClient 4.0
(2) Revoke the policy and accept Mikael's code as source-only
contribution to the 'contrib' package of HttpClient 3.1
What do we do?
Oleg

This is essentially what I meant by (2). Probably I just failed to
articulate it correctly. There is no way we could change the minimal JRE
requirement for a minor release.

May I suggest:
(3) Relax the policy for this code only.
(4) Relax the policy for 'contrib' packages only.

I say we do both. I have no problem including non 1.2 code in contrib
since this is not included in the released jar anyway.
