Last time I was the one who strongly objected (that was in November)... but since then things have changed: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2008-February/001172.html As no one has objected this time let's do it... We will make the switch gradually: phase 1: (today) - update the website - update the installer to require a 1.5 compliant jvm phase 2: (before next stable) - Create a user-alert asking the user to update, bare next stable from auto-updating to what will be stable+1 if the jvm is not 1.5 compliant phase 3: (when next stable is out) - I'll update emu's build scripts to use a 1.5 jvm - We can start to introduce 1.5 code -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
