My bad sorry, I'll fix this.
This might be the opportunity to discuss the JRE requirement for the
next releases. What version do we use (1.4 or 5) and when ? I believe
it's too early to go directly to Java 5, on the server side JEE 5 is not
widely adopted yet (BEA just released WebLogic 10), and on the client
side there are still a lot of OS X users that haven't upgraded to Tiger
(10.4).
I would suggest moving to Java 1.4 for a release in the near future
(configuration 1.5 or 1.6) and then jump to Java 5 for the next major
release (2.0) involving a deep refactoring of the component.
I agree with using Java 5 for version 2.0. About switching to JDK 1.4 I
am not sure. I think we should do this switch as late as possible. I.e.
as long as no specific 1.4 features are needed for the fixes and
features we implement, we should stay with 1.3.
I remember a posting on this list shortly before the Configuration 1.3
release, in which the author made clear that he still needs JDK 1.3 support.
Even with a version requiring Java 5, I think we should still support
the latest pre Java 5 version by fixing the major bugs reported. Thus we
will not force people to upgrade, there will still be a great version
compatible with Java 1.3/1.4 around, and people with Java 5 will enjoy
an even better version.
