> 1. No spaces. > Map<String, String> map; To save anyone else having to research the timeframe involved, here's what my research discovered: - Sun supports current version plus two past versions (Java 1.5, 1.4, 1.3) - BUT Sun *starts* the end-of-life (EOL) processersion N-2 as soon as version N is announced - ArgoUML, on the other hand, works off the announcements and only supports versions for which EOL has not yet begun (effectively making it the current version plus one past version (Java 6, Java 5) So, if our policy (and Sun's) remain unchanged, Java 1.4 support by ArgoUML stops when Java 6 is released. Java major releases are currently 7-8 quarters apart.
