Chris - Thanks for the speedy reply.
There was a little miscommunication. I meant to enter a JIRA issue to switch to 1.4, not 1.5. If I'm not mistaken, there are 15-20 source files that contain collections with type specifications, and will therefore not compile in 1.4.) Although it will pain me to remove the type specifications ;), I volunteer to do so for the greater good. - Keith Chris Mattmann wrote: > > Hi Keith, > > I think at this point, it would be a waste of your time to do the work to > convert the code to 1.5.
