Your opinion is heard but I find it lacking in reason since criticizing Jetty source code integration based on JDK 1.4 usage is not a Jetty specific issue. Its also off the mark in that you are not doing the integration so why bitch about it. The Jetty people are doing a great job with the integration and your opinion on this subject is completely unreasonable.
