[jira] [Commented] (DOXIA-553) Replace pegdown due to deprecation and end of life notice

["Vladimir Schneider (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DOXIA-553?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15895819#comment-15895819 ] 

Vladimir Schneider commented on DOXIA-553:
------------------------------------------

I encountered a show stopper. Doxia requires Java6 compatibility and flexmark-java requires Java7. 

I converted the source to Java6 but BitSet in JDK7 is missing some BitSet methods. Additionally,  org.nibor.autolink used by the autolink extension is byte code level 7 not 6.

The missing BitSet methods I can get around but the byte code level of the autolink dependency would require rewriting the extension without the library. 

Considering that JDK6 has reached EOL in 2012 is there a good reason why Doxia is still requiring JDK6 compatibility?
