Hi Hadrian, Claus and Willem, many thanks for your feedback - thinking about I found it's worth to continue on the path we started already. Means:
1. Compiling Camel by our own like proposed by Hadrian (but it doesn't seems to be that easy) 2. I'll propose to my management to buy external support - makes sense anayway At the end I like to add some notes - it's not about maintenance only, we like to take part on the ongoing progress of Camel and we have an ongoing development too - unfortunately we are bound to a special or concrete environment/provider (application server and jvm). I expect this stays true for this year. - Yes, other project will drop support for Java 5 too, maybe I'm only surprised because of "your" speed. I found it on your roadmap for V3 which I expect later this year. - Hadrain, you asked for alternatives: From pure technical point of view I don't see any real but we have a bunch of "fans" for Spring Integration in our company ... Thanks again for your support Bernd ----- Bernd Fischer GK Software AG bfisc...@gk-software.com -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Dropping-support-for-Java1-5-tp3419554p3424016.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
