If you use that option, you're forcing all the jdk1.4 users to use it too for they code to compile. Not that I'm saying it's a bad thing, just pointing out one of the consequences.

So, I think that we should focus on defining a way to implement adapters easily. I can go further and propose the published api to be an adapter to the current version. -- Best regards, Rafael mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
