The Fuse MR 2.6 branch is open source and free to be used. However as a FuseSource subscriber you get influence, support and other values. For example you can influence the release cycle of the MR 2.6 branch and ask for bugs to be resolved or issues to be cherry picked from trunk to the branch. > 2.

In relation to Camel we would like to provide among others more NoSQL and cloud stuff which tend to be Java6+ >From an maintenance point of view, its 2x the effort to test on both Java5 and Java6 on each platform. > - Hadrain, you asked for alternatives: From pure technical point of view I > don't see any real but we have a bunch of "fans" for Spring Integration in > our company ... > > Thanks again for your support > > Bernd > > ----- > Bernd Fischer > GK Software AG > bfisc...@gk-software.com > -- > View this message in context: > http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Dropping-support-for-Java1-5-tp3419554p3424016.html > Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- Claus Ibsen ----------------- FuseSource Email: cib...@fusesource.com Web: http://fusesource.com Twitter: davsclaus Blog: http://davsclaus.blogspot.com/ Author of Camel in Action: http://www.manning.com/ibsen/
