What do people think?
The question is, do we really want to run our complete build and test
framework on 1.4? The Sun JDK/JRE for 1.4 has been deprecated already
(and Java 5 will follow in october this year). Personally I would say,
move to Java 5 for testing, reporting, code coverage, etc. It's not
too hard to target 1.4 if we really want to, even if running on a
newer version.
I don't think the issue is Java 1.4 as much as smaller JVMs, which are
not EOL. However, if the general consensus is we will never want to run
tests on the smaller devices to which we may deploy, then I am fine with
that.
