Daniel, I don't think it makes any sense to discuss this anymore. We
rate the costs of losing actual users and "stay behind the rest of the
world" differently. Let's get 2.2 out of the door ...
Joerg, I think it's a legitimate question.
Which serious one that has not been discussed extensively?
Cocoon is not the only community/project still supporting Java 1.4.
This actually answers both arguments.
In more detail:
1. I'd be glad if we were ahead of Spring - which drops 1.3 support only
in the upcoming 2.1 release. And the OSGi projects ... Equinox 1.3 (Oct
2006), Knopflerfish 1.2.2, Felix 1.4 ... I get the feeling the success
of a community/project is not determined by its minimum JDK requirement.
2. Yes, how do all the other projects do this? How for example does the
Maven community/project ensure that they are compatible with JDK 1.4?
