Since you can always compile on one version and run on a higher version, the core software should always be built with the lowest version that contains all required capabilities.
When moving from one version to a higher version requires a compelling reason. Not just ' because its the newest.' Dennis Swyped on my android ----- Reply message ----- From: "Tom Hobbs" <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Sep 17, 2010 7:06 am Subject: JDK Version Migration To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Dear All, There is talk on the River developer list regarding which JDK version River is currently compiled and distributed under. Current it's released under JDK 1.4, however issues around moving toward JDK 5 or 6 are underway. Obviously such a move would have consequences in many different environments, particularly when moving from one version of the River to the next. Do any of the users subscribed to this list have any views on the upgrade path and how far along that path (in terms of Java version and target dates) River should go? Many thanks for your time, Tom
