As Java 5 was released almost 2 years ago, I propose making it the
minimum requirement for trunk and all artifacts released from there.
-0, because this means eliminating cocoon 2.2 on "older" application
servers eg weblogic 8.1.
Frankly, I don't see the point in upgrading unless there's a killer
feature in 1.5 that
1) we are likely to use and implement in the near future (2006) and,
2) will improve cocoon by a significant margin.
I second this, but vote even -1. I wonder why a framework should set
such high requirements. Have a look on spring. They have a Java 1.3 as
minimum requirement and only need Java 5 for special features.
IMO we should do it in a similar manner and not set the general
requirement to Java 5.
