RE: [Bodington-developers] commons-lang and Java 1.5

[Andrew B. <a.g...@le...>]

We only use 1.5 here, so moving to 1.5-specific code wouldn't worry us.  1.5
has been available for Macs for some time, so I guess those north of the
border wouldn't worry too much?

Subject: [Bodington-developers] commons-lang and Java 1.5

Does anyone mind including the external library commons-lang?

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/lang/index.html

The Lang Component provides a host of helper utilities for the java.lang
API, notably String manipulation methods, basic numerical methods,
object reflection, creation and serialization, and System properties.
Additionally it contains an inheritable enum type, an exception
structure that supports multiple types of nested-Exceptions, basic
enhancements to java.util.Date and a series of utlities dedicated to
help with building methods, such as hashCode, toString and equals.

The reason I ask is for a decent enum implementation which commons lang
has and 1.4 doesn't.

Are there any opinions about moving to writing code that depends on Java
1.5? Generics, enums, etc?
