Same here. :-)

We know. It's unfortunate, but I think it is the right choice for
the long
term. FWIW, JavaFX faces the same issue - it requires Java 6 in the
browser.
Hopefully by the time we graduate and start to pick up some
momentum, Snow
Leopard will be more widely installed.

Hi
Well, it will mean that I can't do development at home anymore for a
while, but that's just a minor inconvenience for me.
The bigger issue is that you're effectively blocking production
deployment of Pivot on Macs for about the next year - which is a
pretty
conservative estimate of how long it will take Snow Leopard to reach
wide penetration.
Which isn't a problem for me, but might be for others?

Hi all,
Apologies for all the spam today. The pivot.* packages have been
renamed to org.apache.pivot.*, and all projects should now build
OK in
Eclipse. Todd is currently working on updating the Ant script.
We are currently thinking that, when Pivot 1.3 is ready, we would
like
to propose graduation to the Incubator board. There are a number of
issues that we would like to resolve before releasing 1.3 - I have
left these under the 1.3 category in JIRA and created new
categories
for 1.3.1 and 1.4. 1.3.1 will be a performance/bug fix release, and
1.4 will contain new features. We don't have a hard date in mind
for
1.3, but ideally we would be looking at starting the release
process
within a month or so.
One important change in 1.3 is that we will now require Java 6 at
runtime (not just at compile-time). This will temporarily prevent
Mac
OS X users from running Pivot apps in a browser. However, Mac OS X
10.6 (Snow Leopard) will include a new version of the Java Plugin
that
supports Java 6. Snow Leopard is scheduled for release in
September,
so the total Mac browser downtime shouldn't be long.
Let me know if you have any questions.
