From my experiences working with companies moving to Axis2 I'd say
about half are still using JDK 1.4. If they can't count on that support
being maintained I think they're likely to reconsider adopting Axis2.
Just having an archived 1.3 version of Axis2 won't be enough to convince
them, unless they're already committed to moving to JDK 1.5 anyway.
It seems like bad timing to give up one of the major advantages of Axis2
over the Glassfish code and such. So -0 from me.

Hi all ,
As you might remember few months back Glen asked the list about moving
to JDK 1.5 and I think we got very positive feedback. So I thought of
asking again and change the code to work with JDK 1.5 . The main
reason behind sending this mail is due the dependency we have for
annogen. As I can see that project is dead one and there is no
development happening so I do not think it is a good idea to depend on
such a project. In the meantime we have few issues with annogen as
well ,first inner class problem (I have locally fixed that both in
Axis2 and Annogen will commit soon) , second is the final class
problem. I request a release from annogen after the changes that Dims
did , but we did not get any reply so far.
We all know that we get better annotation support from JDK 1.5 so if
we move to JDK 1.5 we can get rid of the annogen dependency and we can
just use JDK for annotation processing. Other problem is generic
support , if we move to JDK 1.5 we can have generic support in our
POJOs. In addition to POJO we can get better concurrent support in
JDK 1.5 as well.
So if we move to JDK 1.5 we can get better support , and I do not
think any advantage of staying in 1.4 . If some user want to use Axis2
in JDK 1.4 they can happily use Axis2 1.3 , which is very stable
version and working fine in 1.4 and 1.5.
If any user or developers have any concern on moving to JDK 1.5 please
come forward and reply to this mail that will be very helpful for all
of us.
Here is my +1 for moving to JDK 1.5 to and release Axis2 1.4 in JDK 1.5
Thank you,
Deepal
