Ok this might be a bit drastic but if we're going to do it, lets do it before the first stable release. I propose we require JDK 1.5 for shale.
Please don't. We depend on shale in WebSphere Portal 5.1 which is only 1.4. If you make it require 1.5 we're screwed, back to using jsp w/myfaces instead of clay html views and shale/myfaces. My reasoning is that JDK 1.5 will be the defacto JDK standard
long before JSF is the framework standard. I consider our work on Shale to be building for the future for the masses - and providing cutting edge stuff for the adventurous. So if you are using Shale now you are probably OK with JDK 1.5. If we agree to this, I suggest we rename shale-tiger to shale-annotations which is more descriptive. Anyways, I'm sure there are some good reasons for keeping it JDK 1.4 but it might not hurt to revist that reasoning now that we're our own TLP and we're approaching the first release. Sean
