Sounds good. Do you plan to refactor some code to use generics, or other Java 5 features ?
At a minimum we should switch to the Java 1.5 concurrent package. Switch generics has an upside that it will make our code more type safe but a downside that merging patches from 4.2.x <-> 4.1.x will be more difficult. How about annotations?? any places where you think those would make more sense?
