Any thoughts from the wider CAS community on requiring Java 6 instead of
Java 5 for CAS4?

Thanks

To: CAS Developer's Mailing List <[email protected]>


I'm looking at determining the minimum version of Java for CAS 4.0.

The code base is currently using a number of convenient Java 1.6 classes
(i.e. some of the newer GeneralSecurityExceptions, TimeUnit, etc.).  Nothing
completely earth shattering, as we could replicate them.  But since 1.5 is
end-of-lifed, and CAS4 is a little while away, I'm curious as to how many
deployers would struggle to upgrade to 1.6 from 1.5 if they wanted to use
the new version of Java.  Java 6 is four years old at this point, and Java 5
is six years old.

Thanks
Scott
