Hi Dave,
It turned out that the Commons Net 3.2 problematic behavior is limited to a single method only, and it was very easy to work around the problem:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=408092#c5
Given that the Commons Net 2.2 which we currently ship is 2.5 years old by now, and lots of defects have been fixed there, it was my understanding that chances
are good that the new lib is better. I have thus given the new lib some serious testing and haven’t seen any problems. I have tested on Windows 7 (32-bit / Java6u21 , and 64-bit / Java 7u21). I’ve tested against 10 different FTP servers, and also done some
stress testing (download a huge file tree of 800 MB / 2000 files).
From what I can see, advantages of the new Commons Net include better list parsing (supports trailing space, and embedded quotes now, and better understands
dates / timestamps / encodings / time zones / foreign languages). They say in the release notes that MVS parsing is also improved.
TM with the new Commons Net 3.2 included is downloadable from Hudson builds >= #895:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/tm-master-nightly/
I would recommend migrating to the new Commons Net 3.2 library.
We need a decision for RC1 by end of the week (I need to pull it out again if we don’t want it).
If we do want it, I recommend additional testing on Linux host, and against ipv6 servers:

Thanks,

No.
My preference is to leave this as is. File the bugs on commons.net (Martin?) and try again.

Hi all,
My initial testing did in fact reveal a regression in Commons Net.
I think I can work around the problem on our side, but the question is do we really want to pull in a Commons Net version that is known to be buggy ?
Thanks,
Martin

Hi all,
I have put commons net 3.2 into Orbit and given it some initial testing on TM.
I’ve found 2 issues with FTP – others should test too, ideally with and without the new commons net:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=346892#c11
Anna please check if anything else is needed for Tycho .
Thanks,
Martin

Hi Committers,
As just discussed on the committer call, I’ll try to get Commons Net 3.2 into Orbit this week for Kepler RC1:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=346892
Will let you know when it’s ready for test.
Thanks,
Martin
