Hi Maarten,
I would like to open a discussion on the purpose/features for 2.0

For instance what will be the minimum supported JDK
        Are we going to support generics, enums annotations ....

Also - are you /we intending to support new features, for instance does the
current implementation block so new wizzy feature that you really want/need
to implement

What is the timescale for the new version

When 2.0 gets produced, how long will 1.x be taken forward.

----
Personally I would like to target 5.0 + and backport via retroweaver or
something similar if needed, but I don't want to start a flame war (just
yet)

I may be able to provide some time to help in the activity. We currently use
dom4j heavily in some products, so I would be particularly interested in
adding some features, to enable extended behavior to not be implementation
dependent, and in increasing the performance.

Subject: [dom4j-dev] dom4j 1.x and dom4j 2.0

Hi,

I've started with the dom4j 2.0 development. The biggest change will be 
a major refactoring of the current implementation and a new project 
structure. This will hopefully make
a. the sources better maintainable
b. it easier to write new extensions

I will try to keep the dom4j interfaces as much backwards compatible as 
possible, but some changes will probably break this backwards compatibility.

Because I think this can take a while, I've created a branch in CVS so 
we can work further on a 1.7 release of dom4j. If you want to commit 
something for this 1.7 release, make sure you do it in the 
DOM4J_1_X_BRANCH, otherwise it won't be included in the 1.7 release

regards,
Maarten
