Drop support for JDK 1.4.
-------------------------
Key: JSPWIKI-121
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-121
Project: JSPWiki
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
Fix For: 3.0
Since Java 6 has been out for a long time, it's time to move to JDK 5. We
already require JDK 5 to compile (due to some MBean classes we are using), but
JSPWiki 2.6 should also work on JDK 1.4.
However, JDK 5 does give us quite a lot of advantages, programming-wise. It
makes loops nicer, and generics and annotations make life so much easier.
This shift is targeted to 3.0. In theory, we could start moving to JDK 5 even
earlier in 2.8, unless there's a large amount of opposition. It's my
understanding though that quite a few companies are still running JDK 1.4.
