JDK 1.4 EOL date is October
The date for JDK 1.4 bing EOL is October 2008, see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/
Are there plans in place to update the commons apache components to build
with JDK 1.5 instead?
Regards
Mike Brosnan

You should keep in mind that the EOL date is only if you don't have paid
support from Sun. If you do, Java 1.4 is supported for a long, long
time. Also, Java 1.5 EOL isn't all that far away.

However, some components are likely to remain on 1.4 (or earlier) -
for example Commons Logging. They will still run on Java 1.5+, and
should still compile on 1.5+ (if not, please raise a JIRA issue).

Thanks for producing the list :-)
And ofcourse, if anyone is interested in a moving a particular
component to 1.5+, please hop on to the Commons dev list, and start
the discussion over there.

Its being done on a component-bycomponent basis. The following list
may not be complete, but this is the state-of-play that I know of:
1) Collections - has had a JDK 1.5 branch for quite some time, not
very active atm
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/collections/branches/collections_jdk5_branch/
2) Configuration - Version 2.0 branch requires JDK 1.5:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/configuration/branches/configuration2_experimental/
3) IO - last release (1.4) was JDK 1.4 compatible, but the current
trunk (and the next release, probably 2.0) now requires JDK 1.5
4) Lang - discussed recently on the dev list:
http://markmail.org/message/k36vrkgupiewg3qx
5) Math - Version 2.0 branch requires JDK 1.5:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/math/branches/MATH_2_0/
6) Net - Version 2.0 branch requires JDK 1.5:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/net/branches/NET_2_0/
7) SCXML - J6 branch requires JDK 1.6
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/scxml/branches/J6/
