Hi Team, We are currently looking at moving over to JDK 1.6 across our Rifidi products and we believe that it will open up some potential incompatibilities with previous JDK versions.
As a result we wanted to bring this up before we continue forward. As many of you may know we are currently running JDK 1.5 because our version of JAXB (for xml processing) does not run on JDK 1.6. However the problem is that most operating systems and Sun themselves recommend moving over to JDK 1.6. As a result most automatic updates are now enforcing this. We have had many emails and questions about this in the past that we have put up a wiki page explaining this. http://wiki.rifidi.org/index.php/Specifying_JRE_5 Since we are currently focusing on stabilizing our new products we are going to make the move to JDK 1.6 as a part of this effort. The biggest issue with this is that migrating JAXB to JDK 1.6 means that JDK 1.5 is no longer supported. This effectively means that we will not be able to run on JDK 1.5 after our next release (for users). For developers we will be making this change on our codebase so at the end of this week you will notice that you need JDK 1.6 to run off the trunk. If anyone has any issues or reasons for us staying with JDK 1.5 then we would really like to hear it. Likewise if you think JDK 1.6 is a good move then please let us know as well. We are evenly split on this decision amonst our development team and would like some help from the community.
