CXF is used widely in a bunch of other applications that still target Java5. Thus, making CXF Java6 only at this point may be pre-mature. For 2.4, we MAY drop support for Java 5, but it's not a topic we've really approached yet. To me, it kind of depends on what's the cost to us of supporting Java5 in addition to Java6. For the most part, the only thing we keep running into is the @Override on interface defined methods. If there isn't much "cost" to keep supporting Java5, then why not? If there was something in Java6 that we really wanted to use that we cannot do with Java5, that would be something else entirely. -- Daniel Kulp dk...@apache.org http://dankulp.com/blog
