All, Up to version 1.2.8, Axiom has always supported Java 1.4. It is clear that supporting that Java version becomes increasingly difficult, because some of the dependencies require Java 1.5. For example, in r754991 I've updated the Geronimo dependencies (activation and javamail) because the versions used in 1.2.8 had some bugs that caused issues to Axiom. However, these dependencies have been built with Java 1.5. There may also be some Maven plugins that fail on Java 1.4.
In his recent change (r939925), Amila also introduced code that depends on java.util.UUID, which was introduced in Java 1.5. There may be other changes since 1.2.8 that only work with Java 1.5. Therefore it's time to take a decision about Java 1.4 support. WDYT? Andreas
