5 months is not a sufficient timeframe to drop support for 1.3. The issue is that there
is nothing in 1.4 that is sufficiently interesting to require that JBoss depend on it. We
will support JDK 1.4 specific features, but the 4.0 release won't depend on those
features.
- More stability
- Faster
- Lots of bug fixes
- Debugging API (debuggers improve if they have this, e.g. hot swapping)
- NIO selectors and sockets
- NIO buffers
- Exception chaining (okay, we have org.jboss.util.NestedException but still...)
We (FNC) are very conservative in upgrading to a new JDK, but we went from JDK 1.3 to JDK 1.4.1 because of all the great new features.
