I also think there will be some resistance as Java 1.3 is still a pretty common target and many projects depend on commons collections. My personal feeling is that Java 1.4 is increasingly becoming the next baseline JVM and it will be a while (read when Java 1.7 is released) before everyone has moved forward enough that resistance towards making Java 1.5 a baseline will be minimal. -- Sandy McArthur "He who dares not offend cannot be honest." - Thomas Paine --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
