PLEASE make them use JDK 1.4. At 08:22 AM 12/11/2002 -0500, you wrote:
MicaelHowdy, This is a common, and will become even more prevalent, question. ;) Mr. Schnack's answer explains a big part of it: right now we still have a lot of users using JDK's older than 1.4. A JDK 1.4 requirement is not possible for the 4.x branch of tomcat.For Tomcat 5.x, there may be some discussion about this requirement, but I doubt it's going to happen. I also think most people working on tomcat recognize that the Apache http is great at what it does: so why re-invent the wheel? Especially when we barely have enough time to keep our wheel (tomcat) rolling... NIO fits in, IMHO (and I'm not speaking for any other developers) as a cool thing to do once we have a JDK 1.4 requirement, but insufficient by itself to make JDK 1.4 required.
