Hi everyone,
In the scope of bug 46434 [1], I believe it was highly desired to have user feedback about this. To sum up, the question is which Java version are you using and/or, tightly related, whether you'd agree to raise the minimum version to Java 1.5. Note that currently in 1.8-pre (trunk version, available through SVN/nightly builds) the requirement was already raised to Java 1.4 (in contrast with the 1.7 release, which had a mix of Java 1.2 and 1.3, the latter allowing some more advanced features whenever available. So, I'm asking who (and why): 1. Is "still" using Java 1.3 in production environment(s)? 2. Would be affected by the current Java 1.4 as minimum (which is already done, so this is mostly an alert, as well as the desire to have more user feedback on this). 3. Would oppose to switching to Java 1.5 still in the scope of the next release (although, for what it's worth, as I've stated myself [2] I'd vote against that before releasing a stable version). :-) Also, if you have good technical/practical reasons to support your answers, please don't just skip them - make sure they are properly explained so we all can know/learn about it. ;-) Cheers, Helder [1] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46434 [2] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46434#c5 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
