Many thanks to everybody, who has participated so far, for your feedback.
On [EMAIL PROTECTED] we voted about it and the voting proposal was rejected.
The main reason is that large organizations (e.g. banks) are years
behind in their usage of new JDK releases and that we haven't found
_the_ feature of Java 5 that justifies the switch.
That is a shame. If this were the only criterion, Cocoon will not be
able to use the features of Java 5 for 20 years or more. Think how many
Cobol programmers were fully employed leading up to Y2K. I imagine that
some banks are still using JVM 1.2 now (and I doubt that Cocoon 2.2 is
compatible with that).
I have faith that concern for ultra-conservative organizations isn't the
only consideration the developers are using, though. So have they
decided what will finally allow a move to Java 5? Just so we know when
we can look forward to it.
