This might start a bit of a flame-fest here, and if so I appologize, but I feel that this is a valid point. A lot of people have been critizing V. Cekvenich for his suggestion, and one of the common reasons given was:
>Those who have systems in production and have spent alot of time developing >applications which are hosted on those systems can't do a major upgrade like >JVM 1.3 -> JVM 1.4 at the drop of a hat. This particular version of the argument was posted by Glenn, and I believe he's correct in stating this. However, if you can't do a major upgrade like JVM 1.3 -> JVM 1.4 at the drop of a hat, why would you consider a major upgrade like Tomcat 4.X -> Tomcat 5 at the drop of a hat? The many other arguments against requiring 1.4 notwithstanding (and I'm not attempting to refute _any_ of them here), it would seem to me that testing a major version change of Tomcat + a JVM change wouldn't incur much more overhead than testing a major version change of Tomcat alone. Does anyone have any comments/opinions/counterarguments? Or should I just shut my trap and concentrate on the other reasons requiring J2SE 1.4 is a bad idea ;-) Sean Reilly Software Architect, Point2 Technologies, Inc.
