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...
I think we should be able to rely on the Java 5 SE features... since
most users will be running in that environment, that is the supported/
required JVM level for 2.0.
Users can *probably* get Java 1.4 to work, but its not gonna be
working out of the box.
