Dear enthusiasts

• General
  • [CARGO-1398] - Cargo doesn't work on Java 9
• Containers - Jetty
  • [CARGO-1400] - Make the timeout for JettyRemoteDeployer configurable

To try it out:

• Users of the Maven 2 / Maven 3 plugin simply need to use the Codehaus Cargo plugin version 1.5.1
• Users of the Java API can download the new Uberjar from http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-core-uberjar/1.5.1/cargo-core-uberjar-1.5.1.jar
• Similarly, users of the ANT tasks can download the new ANT tasks from http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-ant/1.5.1/cargo-ant-1.5.1.jar
• Finally, the ones who want to see the Cargo Daemon can get it from http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-daemon-webapp/1.5.1/cargo-daemon-webapp-1.5.1.war and can try the instructions on https://codehaus-cargo.github.io/cargo/Cargo+Daemon.html

Important note: Codehaus Cargo 1.5.1 is expected to be our last version to support Java 5. The reasons for this are numerous:

• Java 5 is old, very old, and its extended support ended in May 2015
• Java 5 requires a lot of extra libraries, for example for XML, which increases the number of dependencies for Codehaus Cargo greatly
• The Java 9 compiler won't generate any Java 5 code anymore

Enjoy!
