Hello, - I think that more than 50% of the users uses Java 1.4 I think that is unrealistic. In decent to large corporations, one doesn't change from one release to another release of software like Java or even tools like Ant just "whenever". Everything has to be co-ordinated, suites of software that work together need to all move together, QA plans have to be updated, new tests run, etc. I think in the 'real' world the lag time from one release to another is astoundingly long, as least to developers who don't understand why the switch isn't made sooner. I assure you there are shops out in the 'real' world running Windows 98 or NT using JDK 1.1 or 1.2 while us developers are buzzing along using Windows XP or Linux and JDK 1.4 - but we don't necessarily represent the majority... -ken --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
