Yes, Java 5 language features next release.
Although I'd like to find just what our core jini platform should be and
compile it with -jsr14 to produce Java 1.4 bytecode from Java 5 source.
In that core platform, we couldn't use any new methods or libraries not
in Java 1.4, however we could use generics.
So for instance the Java cdc platform can consume and provide simple
services.
Cheers,
Peter.
Did I hear Peter say that Java 1.5 is a goal for post-River 2.1.2? If
so, it's a fairly simple chore to change 1.6 code to work with 1.5. The
biggest changes that get me in trouble when I switch between the two
versions are @Override, String.isEmpty(), and a few Swing changes
(JTable, etc).

Subject: Re: sketches
Can i use @override and the collections framework? At least for the
prototyping stage? If it works out, i can donate the code to the ASF and
the committers can put it in a contrib directory, with the specific
remark that it only compiles with jdk6.
