I think that we still need this. I didn't mind the move to JDK15 because users could always use retroweaver for earlier JDKs. We still need this version of the spec for just such an occasion.
Interesting. I certainly hadn't been thinking along these lines. When I last looked at Retroweaver it would provide most Java 5 language features, but not Java 5 SE runtime features. So, taken to a logical conclusion, we'd be saying that G 2.0 cannot be dependent upon any Java 5 SE unique runtime features (e.g. xml extensions, jmx, concurrency, ...). I'm pretty to commit to any backward compatibility for our J2EE assembly...
In any case, the retirement of the a previously supported spec needs a little more time on the dev list than a three hour window.
The spec hasn't been retired, it's no longer included in our modules/ assembly. I think that's inline with a CTR process...
