Hi Matt,

It would probably take some time to switch to the latest release of Milton library as the versions are not 100% compatible. Apart from that, BaseX WebDAV has some custom extensions for locking resources, which would need to be reimplemented.

I remember there was another thread on licensing issues with Milton [1].

Best, Christian

Hi all,

While auditing the library dependencies of an application, I found that org.basex:basex-api [1] depends on a very old version of com.ettrema:milton-api -- v1.8.1.4 released in 2014 [2]. The package seems to have been migrated to the io.milton namespace and have a recently (December 2021) released v3.1.0.301 [3]. This stood out to me because my application is using the latest version of Apache commons-io, v2.11.0, while the old version of milton-api depends on Apache commons-io v1.4, released in 2008.

Would it be feasible to migrate BaseX to a newer version of the milton-api library? Thanks in advance!

Matt
