1) 64-bit OS.
2) 64-bit JVM.
3) Newer Tomcat. Tomcat's own data structures shrank somewhat from 4.x -> 5.0
-> 5.5. I've not looked at 6 yet.
4) If the developers say the app "needs" 1.4.2, find out *exactly* why. Does
it *need* 1.4.2 or will they only *support* it on 1.4.2? The former is a
technical limitation, the latter a business decision that each business can
negotiate about (along the lines of "OK, pay us more money for support and
we'll train someone on the current generation of VMs").
