Java 1.4 seems the safer bet. Anyone who needs pre-1.4 can use 0.20.5 or 0.93 (or pre-0.94). I see the logic in maintaining support for 1.4 until Sun completes the End of Life process for it. We may want consider explicitly stating when we plan to drop support for JDK 1.4 in our road map (e.g., fop-1.0--or whatever version--will be the last planned release of FOP to support JDK 1.4). BTW Max, thanks for the analysis of systems. It might be nice to do a similar survey of JDK versio support for FOP, that we could add to our FAQ. -- Regards, The Web Maestro -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - <http://homepage.mac.com/webmaestro/> My religion is simple.
