Not a question of technical feasibility but rather a question about the state of active development No further development is occurring on 3.x. The last release was a bug fix release a few years back. The lead (and sole) developer was reportedly working on a substantial re-write on a 4.x tree; however, the last communication from him on this topic was almost 2 years ago and he has rarely even participated in general on the list since then. So, not clear that there is any active development going on now. Of course, for all we know, he could be plowing ahead in silence... So, I guess unless you are planning on adding such changes, it is most unlikely to happen anytime soon if at all. If you do implement it, there really isn't any established process now for merging your additions into new releases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery and much more.
