Those objections are very valuable for MINA 2. MINA 3 will take at least one more year to get out in a RC state, so I would rather not spend a minute of my very busy agenda to take care of Java 6 compatibility for MINA 3. I don't want to see MINA to face the same problem that commons-collection is facing : 9 years after the addition of generics in Java, we still don't have a library supporting them... -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
