Hi all guys!!!
My question is instead: is there any advantage we can get by targeting
Cocoon to Java6? Is there any specific Java6 APIs we need to improve
the existing codebase?
If yes, please can you describe?
Hi Simone,
some of my favorite Java 6 features that Cocoon codebase could profit from:
* Collections Framework Enhancements and ServiceLoader [1]: Cocoon
source code makes large use of collections, thus usage of these features
can improve quality and performance
* Internationalization Enhancements [2]: especially now that we should
start working on the new i18n transformer [3]
* JMX [4] and Management [5] enhancements: will we ever put this great
Cocoon 3 stuff in production?
Last but not least, Cocoon 3 depends on many other frameworks and
libraries that will eventually require Java 6 (and 7, soon) capabilities.
Regards.

Hi all,
C3 is still set to 1.5 as source and target version.
Java5 is end of life since almost two years now.
Is there any good reason not to go 1.6?
Not that I know, so +1 for me to move to 1.6.
Regards.
