We should probably upgrade the minimum Java version to 1.5 for Lenya 2.1 because Java 1.4 is near EOL. We should think about upgrading dependent libraries immediately after creating the Lenya-2.0 branch when Trunk becomes Lenya-2.1. We should coordinate to convert all Collections to Generics. After 2.1 is released, we should think about upgrading the minimum Java version to 1.6 for Lenya 2.2 or a later release. Thoughts: 1. A version of Lenya is designed for each version of Java. Anybody requiring a specific version of Java for a CMS will not discard Lenya because we do not have a gold version available. 2. Small steps at each minor release. Tthe conversion to Generics may take time. 3. SOP should upgrade dependencies when and only when creating branches. (I made a mistake upgrading XalanJ while fixing a bug and losing compatibility with Cocoon-2.1.11.)
