Hi James:
I had an older MAC PowerPC G5 workstation running 10.4 that was sitting
around, so I decided to use it for http://www.myofbiz.com. Works like a
champ and I have the nice MAC user interface (and UNIX command-line) to
support all the system administrative things I need to do.
Downside, I'd have to buy 10.5 to run Java 1.6. (Apple rolls its own
Java, I'm guessing from Sun sources). I already made the plunge for my
laptop and other systems, but it doesn't make a lot of sense right now
to upgrade the myofbiz.com server. Maybe when traffic picks up and/or I
have to move to a hosting center.
I too am wondering about the incompatibilities. That is one reason I
asked the question. Like I said, I haven't seen any Java shops using 1.6
in a big way. Maybe I'm just not in any of the right places :-)
Regards,
Ruth

I am curious as to what server OS you run that doesn't have a Java 6 SDK.
I'm also wondering which Java 6 incompatibilities cause problems with
OFBiz. NIO? Calendar durations? Bean eventHandlers? Forced validation on
casts?
