[configuration] Java 5 target for the next release?

Hi all,

What's the feeling about targeting Java 5 for Commons Configuration 1.8 
? No major refactoring, just small and compatible changes.

I had similar plans. Maybe this also helps for the design of version 
2.0. When we have two APIs compatible with Java 1.5 - the old one and 
the new one - we can decide which changes in the experimental branch 
make sense and which don't.

Salut Manu,
I think it sounds fine, in the past some components like Digester
jumped directly to a major release, some others like Discovery just
increased the minor version.
I think that just small and compatible changes are enough to justify a
minor release.
All the best,
Simo

PS feel free to ping me directly if you want to update the digester!

Thanks all for the feedback. I have just upgraded the build to target 
Java 5 now.

Let the fun begin.

I am definitely in favor of this.  I've been getting complaints that some of
the synchronization I put in causes bottlenecks. I would love to convert
those to read/write locks to fix that.
