Ernest:
I'd submit a vote against dropping 1.2 support for 6. I suppose even
Linux support is catching up, but there are still going to be a lot
of older JVMs out there in browser land. Forget about using Macs
until later in the OS X distribution! OK, if you can dictate that
any user will have a 1.3 JVM, but tougher for people making tools for
the gen public. To be sure, I'm keeping my existing and archived 4.4
etc. for use.
Thanks for asking.
