+1.
with several comments:
- I've been using 1.5 at runtime for Roller in Tomcat 5.5.x for some time.
- There is a longtime complaint (ROL-644) from one user that 1.5 breaks
Roller and Velocity 1.4, except on Tomcat 5.5, and that we would need to
remove a bunch of leading slashes from velocity resource paths to make it
work on other app servers. This bears some looking into if we switch, or
perhaps we upgrade to Velocity 1.5, which also reportedly resolves this.
- While initially this would be just a flip of a switch, it would be good to
write down what this means for our coding conventions, particularly around
the use of generics in declarations and our casting conventions for dealing
with the libs and any other code returning "plain" collections.
- We'll see people start using autoboxing (inadvertently even :-); and we
can expect a few mysterious NPEs cropping up.

+1 for now! I'm doing it in AppFuse. You could always use
Retroweaver for folks wanting to deploy to 1.4. The only reason I can
think of wanting to deploy to 1.4 is because they're using some
WebSphere 5.1 or something.

When can we switch over to Java 5? I'm getting tired of juggling JVMs
