----------------------------------------
OOps. Sorry, my bad. Will remove it in a jiffy.
> 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.
