Hi, Sun's Java 1.4.x is reaching EOL status in October, so I was wondering if there's still need for us to continue using Java 1.4 as the baseline for Jackrabbit. Upgrading the minimum platform requirement to Java 5 would give us a) some nice language features, b) the chance to drop the concurrent library dependency, and c) the chance to directly use libraries like Apache Tika that are based on Java 5.
Are there good reasons for sticking with Java 1.4? IMHO a natural upgrade point to Java 5 would be Jackrabbit 2.0. BR, Jukka Zitting
