Hi,
I have started working on going to Java 1.5 and its advantages.
I have committed many changes to take into account the following points :
- Eclipse 3.6
- Java 1.5 compiler
- Annotations @Deprecated and @Override
Still a lot of work to do and help is welcome if someone is interested
Great! Sounds like I should take a vacation for a while!
Let me know if you are going to upload changes that will break the build
temporarily, Nico. I'll plan on NOT doing coding at the BCCE this next week,
I think, or perhaps the 6-hour time difference will keep us on different
schedules.
I will try not to break too many things, but it should at least compile :)

Yes,
That's part of the optimizations that could be made.
For going to real Java 1.5 code, I suggest waiting until the 12.0 branch is
created, and I will start doing some modifications on the trunk (12.1.x)
I think, I will do in this order :
- Adding @Deprecated and @Override annotations

And optimizations when I see some (for example, I have cleaned up the

sounds good to me.

Hi everyone,
We are currently building Jmol for at least Java 1.5.
What about modifying Jmol code to take more advantages of Java 1.5 features
(annotations, generics, ...) ?
On the other side, it won't be possible to compile Jmol with older versions
of Java.

I don't think this is much of an issue as 1.4 is no longer supported.

The big change would be to go to 11.6. I will leave that to my successor,
however, because it requires thousands of instances where Vector and
Hashtable and such have to be explicitly identified as to content variable
type. It gets you nothing whatsoever except less of a chance to hit a
class-cast
1.6

In fact, that would already be the case with Java 1.5.
Generics are in Java 1.5 (VectorString and so on...)
Java 6 doesn't have a lot of changes in the Java language itself (I think
only new libraries but no language changes)

More importantly...
Replace Vector with ArrayList as much as possible, unless you access
the List by more

Java 1.5 was released in Sept 2004
Requiring 1.5 should not be an issue for anyone.

Should be OK for Macs. Linux users that are not updating should. I
assume Windows is beyond that version too.

That's ok for me.
Java 1.5 will enable a lot of code cleanup with the generics.
Maybe ask the question on the users list ?
