I *definitely* say no... I know in my shop, we're going to be stuck with
JDK 1.4 for nearly another year because of Websphere, so it would keep
me from moving up the Struts 1.x ladder (although, we're still on 1.2.8
I believe, so we're back a ways regardless).
My feeling is that S1 should pretty much always stay on 1.4... I think
with the large installed base, and many in shops that haven't and don't
plan to bump to JDK 1.5, the 1.x track should remain accessible to them.
I'd like to see the JDK line be S1 vs. S2... those that are stuck on
1.4 for whatever reason know that the 1.x track is for them, those on
1.5+ can choose either track.

I didn't unilaterally decide to use JDK 1.5 features. No worries. This is
just an oversight, but what bugs me is that the Maven compiler (at least on
my side) didn't set the right compiler version and catch the error. Bummer.
Anyway, AFAIK, 1.4 is still a JDK 1.4 project. But since Frank tried this
out, I guess we should ask if 1.5 should be used or not? At the moment, I
say no. Thoughts?

Looks like core uses JDK 1.5 features - for example the
IllegalStateException constructors which take a "Throwable" cause were

I don't remember agreeing to move to JDK 1.5 (from JDK 1.4) for the
next Struts (1.4) version - but perhaps we did?
I had a feeling that might have been the case, but I too don't remember
even discussion of requiring 1.5 at any point so I figured I must be
wrong.
And I can confirm that switching to java5 works, got a successful build
now... actually, I have java6 installed so I used that, but I assume
java5 would work too.
