I respect your point of view but it is really hard to attract new contributors when we first state they MUST code with JDK 1.5. And again, if the need for a Java 1.5 backport is proven - rather than imposed by default - , it's always possible to people interested in it to contribute (and/or ask). Plus I really suspect that for edge projects, there is absolutely no audience widening in supporting Java 1.5. Regards, Henrib
PS: it would be pretty interesting to know which JDK is actually deployed within enterprises by segment/size. All customers we see - mostly Oracle customers as well - now run Java6. -- View this message in context: http://apache-commons.680414.n4.nabble.com/VOTE-Can-the-next-version-major-version-of-a-project-require-Java6-i-e-drop-Java-1-5-tp4160635p4169631.html Sent from the Commons - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
