hi, java 1.4.2 eol (end of live) period completes October 30th, 2008, when J2SE 1.4.2 will have reached its End of Service Life (EOSL). from that point of view it would make sense to me to switch to java 1.5 completely. this would mean that we could skip special java 1.5 source folders and could make use of all 1.5 features. i also think that this change is ok since pdfbox is in incubanation. what do others think?
