Hello,

I see a few reasons for dropping 1.4 compatibility:

- JDK1.4 has reached EOL in October 2008 so people could have seen it
coming.
- JDK 5 has been available for a long time, and even THAT will reach
EOL, as per October 2009)
- JDK 6 is much faster :)
- Generics and annotations?

IMHO you can't keep 1.4 compatibility until the last customer has left
the building. One day they will have to upgrade their JDK. 

My 2c,

WarnerJan
