I subscribe to Mehdi's thoughts. For example, I noticed most active Batik committers pretty silent on this thread, which doesn't mean there isn't an opinion there as well. (I'm not sure if they are simply not following this mailing list, so I'm trying to "fix" it by adding a link to this thread in a tightly related issue [1] (i.e., dropping Java 1.4 support), which will end up in batik-...@.) > +2 for the move to 1.5 > +0 for the move to 1.6 Is it possible to vote twice? ;-) I'm also supporting the move to 1.5, as I see no benefit in simple short-circuiting those users for almost no benefit. Java 1.5 would be useful, though, for example for the compile-time type checking which can then be start being introduced to increase security and stability. +1 for the move to 1.5 Cheers, Helder [1] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46434 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
