But unfortunately, it's hard here. Too many code are written and
compiled and debug on jdk1.4,
and the worst one is that jdk1.4 is not sun jdk. We are binded into
weblogic8. whose current jdk version is 1.4. Upgrade the jdk is
simple case for my local development , but is huge process for our
production.
My choice is not much.:(
