Dear Apache XML Graphics Batik/FOP/Commons users, as you probably know, all products of the Apache XML Graphics project are still compatible with Java 1.3. We are currently discussing about dropping support for Java 1.3 and instead make Java 1.4 the minimum Java version required to run new releases. There was some talk about going directly for Java 1.5, too. The main reason: Maintaining support for Java 1.3 has become increasingly cumbersome which can become a problem in a mostly volunteer-based environment.
Now, in order to minimize the number of people we upset with such a change, we would like to know what our users work with and what you think about this change. We've set up an online survey which we kindly ask you to fill out. It should not take much longer than 5 minutes. Please click here to start the survey: http://www.eSurveysPro.com/Survey.aspx?id=e3155c33-540e-471d-a23e-f6c1f73c8bd2 (the survey ends on Sunday, October 14, 2007) Please note: Even if we change the minimum Java versions for new releases, the previous releases with Java 1.3 support will remain available for download. Thanks a lot!
