Hi all, I think that the choice to base the Restlet API on JDK 1.5 APIs was a bit aggressive a year ago. Thanks to Retroweaver, we had some backward compatibility with JDK 1.4.
Now, it seems too early to add any dependency on new JDK 1.6 APIs. However, we should make sure that the code base compiles and runs on JDK 1.6 without any issue. At least those who can benefit from the improved performance will be easily able to do so. It seems to me reasonable to keep the 1.x releases based on JDK 1.5 APIs and to start taking advantage of new JDK 1.6 APIs in the 2.0 branch. Meanwhile, we can start investigating the new APIs features, learn about them and consider them while adding new features to the 1.x releases (JMX, etc.). That should facilitate the migration to the Restlet 2.0 API in 2008 or later.
