Hi Jim,
I understand that it is possible to run a properly configured instance of
Geronimo using J2SE 5.0.
That being said, the target audience of a Quick Start Guide/Getting Started
document is interested in getting an instance of Geronimo up and running as
quickly as possible. If a user downloads Geronimo and runs java -jar
bin/server.jar and gets an exception stacktrace (or three) using J2SE 5.0,
and then runs the same command using Java 1.4.2 and does not get a
stacktrace (regardless of whether Geronimo is actually usable or not), then
within that context a dependency exists on Java 1.4.2.
This is what I meant by "out of the box".
Thanks,
Ian

G does not depend on 1.4.2. You get some error messages
when starting with 1.5.0, but that's due to the Daytrader
app which is bundled with G. Also, CORBA support
only works with 1.4.2, but that's not a G dependency
IMO.
