"Seems" is such a weasel word. Who does the "seeming"? It *seems* like you're trying to avoid responsibility for your judgment. And it *seems* like you ignored that the library was updated for Java 5 compatibility, undercutting your very assumption. > If you have some software that was started 10 years ago and back then > it was decided to support 1.2, then it makes sense to keep that support > if there are no significant gain by dropping it. > > Being backwards compatible unless very good reasons exists for not > being it is not ancient. > >>> Apache Commons Configurations do have recent updates: >> >> Yeah, in this case I was referring to it's [sic] dependencies (lang 2.6, which is >> the 1.2 version, instead of lang 3.1, last updated in January 2011, >> collections, last updated in April 2008, and logging, last updated in 2007, >> almost 5 years ago). Why are you so scared of something not updated in a while? Rapid updates are not a bellwether of good quality. > Are there any inventions in collections or logging since 2008/2007 that > you miss?
