Ok, fine but nothing in this list says I have to drop 1.3.1 support. You act like we can't run with JDK 1.4.1 which we can.
The bigger factor that may require 1.4 is the J2EE 1.4 spec which does list the availability of the J2SE 1.4 APIs as a container requirement. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Scott Stark Chief Technology Officer JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bela Ban" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 1:27 PM Subject: Re: [JBoss-dev] Re: [javagroups-users] Survey: JDK 1.4 versus JDK 1.3 > Scott M Stark wrote: > > > 5 months is not a sufficient timeframe to drop support for 1.3.
