We are having a small crisis on our hands ATM regarding our persistent store component and if I was reading Pier correctly he was willing to dedicate some time towards a solution to this problem.

Do you agree with JSDK 1.4 as the lower Java version supported in Cocoon 2.2?-0.5
Here is my +1
Even though 1.4 is available for most platforms, and I've been using it exclusively for quite a long time, I still think there are many environments where people are forced to use 1.3 (not to mention 1.2) and upgrading wouldn't be an easy task.
If, and when, we have something that absolutely requires 1.4 (say, a new caching system based on NIO, like Pier suggested), we might reconsider this requirement. Doing it now would just alienate many users without really buying us anything important.
I suggest to repeat this vote when we have a proposed time frame for the release of 2.2.
This question should probably be asked on the users mail list.
There are lots of government agencies that are way behind. Version 1.3 is their limit and maybe even 1.2 in some cases.
One of the main attractions of the jdk 1.4 is its NIO package, and it's supposed to be a major improvement in Javas IO performance. With 1.4 being available for - what more than two years? - and 1.5 already on the horizon it is IMHO the right time to upgrade.
+1 for 1.4
