Hi Rob:
Thanks. I already upgraded my laptop (and some other servers) and found
a few problems. Most annoying was that GIMP didn't work anymore. I won't
bore you with the details on fixing that one but I use GIMP pretty
extensively to get screen shots etc. for my books. So, being without for
sometime really made me stop and think about upgrading my production
server. Who knows what other issues lurk out there.
Thanks much.
Ruth

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?
