My and Peter's idea is to move to Java 5 in 1.1.0, which is a unstable branch and to make 1.2 the first stable branch with full Java 5 support. Of course, 1.0.x will be maintained until 1.2 is released. We can call 1.2 as '2.0', but it's just a number. There are some discussion about having an intermediate version (1.5 ?)
like tomcat did for version 5.5, but they are just discussions.
1.1.x is the intermediate version that experiments Java 5 feature. You have to keep in mind that many prokect are still using a 1.4 jdk,
even if java 5 is becoming more and more visible. Geronimo is still using a 1.4 jfk, for instance.
Moving to 1.2 will take quite a long time as we did for 1.0. So you can keep using 1.0.x if you want to use MINA in JDK 1.4. People who wants to use Java 5 support can use unstable releases taking a little risk of new experimental features which can be removed when we release 1.2.
