Tim Donohue updated DS-618:
---------------------------

    Description: 
We still recommend at least "PostgreSQL 7.3 or 7.4".  7.4 is now seven years 
old and losing maintainer support next month (or so).  By December only 8.2 and 
up will be supported.

Sun Java 5 SE reaches its End Of Service Life in October 2010.

Tomcat 4 is positively ancient and definitely unsupported by its maintainers.  
Even 5.0 is too old for help.  5.5 should be our minimum recommendation.

Please discuss.

Maven 2.2 is current and the developers are intensely focused on 3.0.  We might 
recommend at least 2.0.11 (the current "older release") rather than 2.0.8.

+1 to bringing these all up to date.  (SideNote: Removed the Maven versions 
from original description on behalf of Mark Wood).

I'd be in favor of making this on ongoing task.  Before any major release we 
should review version requirements and update them to recommend versions which 
are still being supported.   We shouldn't be encouraging the community to 
continue to run old unsupported versions of any software. :)
