Hi,
I have started working on going to Java 1.5 and its advantages.
I have committed many changes to take into account the following points :
- Eclipse 3.6
- Java 1.5 compiler
- Annotations @Deprecated and @Override
Still a lot of work to do and help is welcome if someone is interested :
- About 3000 warnings to fix with the Java 1.5 compiler
- Using Generics
- Replacing StringBuffer with StringBuilder where multi-threading or
concurrent access is not an issue
- Replacing Vector with ArrayList (being careful when synchronization is
required)
- Adding Javadoc comments
- ...
