I said earlier that I want a user poll and a vote before changing the minimal JDK version to support for FOP (and Batik). Now that I have more time for XML Graphics again, I should probably follow up on that. I would like to set up one of those online surveys to get some feedback from the users prior to the vote. I'm thinking about putting up the following questions:
1. Which Apache XML Graphics subprojects do you use? a) Apache Batik (SVG) yes/no/don't know Version: ______ b) Apache FOP (XSL-FO) yes/no/don't know Version: ______ c) Apache XML Graphics Commons yes/no/don't know Version: ______ 2. What operating system are you on? Windows dev/prod Version: ________ Linux dev/prod Version: ________ Solaris dev/prod Version: ________ BSD dev/prod Version: ________ MacOSX dev/prod Version: ________ AIX dev/prod Version: ________ other no1 dev/prod Name&Version: ________ other no2 dev/prod Name&Version: ________ 3. What hardware are you running your production systems on? ___________________________________________________ 4. What Java Virtual Machine versions do you use in development (Brand & Version of the JVMs in use)? _____________________________________________ 5. What Java Virtual Machine versions do you use in production (Brand & Version of the JVMs in use)? _____________________________________________ 6. If you use Java 1.3 or earlier in production, do you have a need to stay on the latest versions of Apache XML Graphics products? o yes, because: _________________________________________________ o no o I run Java 1.4 or later. 7. If you use Java 1.3 or earlier in production, what's the reason you cannot migrate to Java 1.4 or later? o There's no Java 1.4 or later for the operating system we use. o There's some software that doesn't run on 1.4 or later so we're stuck. o Company policy Other comments/reasons: _____________________________________________ 8. Are you aware that the end-of-life process for Sun's Java 1.3 has ended in December 2006? o yes o no 9. Anything else you would like to tell us while you're at it? ______________________________________________ Any other questions you want answered? Any objection to taking Batik and Commons into the same questionaire and make the "Java 1.4 question" a project vote rather than a subproject vote?
