Thanks, I thought NB had already changed to that requirement (Eclipse
and IDEA have some time ago).

it did update, however right at the beginning of the next release
cycle (6.0) which is a month or two back. Nb has the policy of
supporting 2 stable version of the JDK. it gives people time to
migrate and for example macosx didn't have a 1.5 jdk for some time.
AFAIK idea ships with a jre, so they don't have to consider this much.
nb 5.0 is out for some time already. (that's what I base the netbeans
support on) and 5.5 will be out  soon. but unfortunately I'm not sure
when 6.0 is to due to be released.


Do you have any indication of how many NB users stick to old versions?

a minority indeed.

I get the feeling they upgrade pretty fast. I'd also be interested to see
how many NB users still use JDK 1.4 to run the IDE. I ask this as it
might mean a change by the end of the year vs end of next year :)


I think I can forbid installing the netbeans modules when running on
1.4. My concern was how the 1.4-compiled netbeans binaries will play
with the 1.5-compiled binaries of mevenide. (or if I compile mevenide
with 1.4, how wil it play with 1.5-compiled maven embedder.) Anyone
has experience with such a setup?

So, this is a strong factor to consider in changing for Maven (though
doesn't hinder Continuum and MRM).

Cheers,
Brett
