On [EMAIL PROTECTED] we have started to dicuss whether we can make Java 5
becoming the minimum requirement for Cocoon 2.2. Note that this
discussion is completly unrelated to Cocoon 2.1 which needs JDK 1.3.
The arguments pro Java 5 which was officially releases almost 2 years
ago, are the support of generics, annotations, build-in JMX, simpler
loop syntax, and many small improvements to a lot of classes.
As Cocoon 2.2 hasn't been released yet, there is no existing user base.
Hence people are not forced to use Java 5 just because of a new patch
release. We plan to do a release based on the 2.1.X branch within the
next months, which might be the last one of this series.
The question now is whether making Java 5 the minimum requirement is a
hurdle for people who plan to migrate or not.
Your opinion is appreciated!
+1, The company I work at switched the production java applications to
Java 5 this year.
