A couple of things I can think of off the top of my head - versions
older than 6 are no longer supported by Sun. Version 6 continues to
improve on performance - especially in garbage collection.
I agree that OS upgrades are a pain, but the harsh reality is, you will
have to do it someday.

Hi Patrick:
My production server is running a version of the O.S. for which there is
no production quality version of Java 1.6 available. So, in order to
move to 1.6, I need to upgrade my server's OS, which is something I
don't really want to deal with right now. My setup works fine. Never
crashes and, whenever the power goes out or some other calamity happens,
it reboots and OFBiz and the database come up automatically with no issues.
So, much as I'd like to try out 1.6, it doesn't make good business sense
for me. I'm also curious as to how many folks out there are running
applications dependent on 1.6. I've been to a few bigger Java shops
recently and none of them run 1.6. Some are still (happily) on 1.4.
Regards,
Ruth

Just curious what problems do you have with 1.6?

Hi All:
Is there any interest in making OFBiz 10.4 (and all the 10.x) releases
compatible with Java 1.5? Requiring 1.6 is a real show stopper for
me. But
I'm wondering if anyone else out there really cares at all about this?
