Hi,
here's one community vote saying "drop it yesterday".
Those users still clinging to Java 1.1 (either because
of arcane platforms or just plain upgradeophobia) are
probably (hopefully?) a pretty small proportion of the
Xalan user base, and anyway they already have a well
functional, stable 1.1-compatible release, Xalan 2.2
(plus the option, in the case of MacOS 9 users, of
upgrading to an actual operating system :)
It's not worth holding on to stone-age compatibility
forever, at the cost of performance and development
ease. And there will always be cries of despair from
the paleolithic contingent, no matter how long we wait.
I say it's been plenty long enough already.
Cheers,
- Gulli
