+1.

We should switch to Java 5 for compilation and for the default release
(since the concurrent stuff is  faster & more bug free on Java 5) but
maybe provide a retrotranslator version of the jars for those who
can't move JVM.

i.e. build on Java 5 only - but allow deployments on 1.4

Hi folks,

How do you guys feel about switching the minimum run time requirement
for ActiveMQ 4.2 to be Java 5??  I'm itching to do this since Java 5
has a much better set of concurrent implementation.

We can keep the 4.1.x branch alive as the Java 1.4 compatible version.
 Also I have a feeling that once we switch to Java 5, someone will
figure out how to use retrotranslator to make our Java 5 binaries also
run on Java 1.4.  But I doubt anybody will make any efforts to look
into that until we actually jump to Java 5.

So what do you say?  Shall we switch ??
