Typically we don't change the minimum execution environment unless we have 
a need for it. However much of the platform has already moved to Java 5 
minimum so I think that would be quite reasonable here.

Subject
[platform-dev] J2SE 1.4 Execution Environment






Would anyone happen to know why the platform-debug plugins have an 
execution environment of J2SE 1.4?  I am beginning work on porting the 
Console view to a pure e4 MPart and ran into some compile errors relating 
to the J2SE 1.4 requirement.  I can work around these issues, however 
since I am doing some work here anyways, I wasn't sure if this was 
something that should be updated.  (say to 1.5 or 1.6) 

Unless I am missing something (which I might be) there are relatively few 
code changes necessary to update the execution environment.  All of the 
changes I found deal with simple casting errors (several of Boolean val = 
(Boolean) someString;).  IIRC, in all, the changes affected ~10 total 
lines of code.

Is this something that should be looked into?

Thanks,
