Hi Arthur, I was just proposing starting a branch to act as a sandbox to experiment with Java 5 features that we might want to use. I don't think we should cut over to Java 5 until Axis2 does. Even at that point, we might not want to exploit Java 5, but it would be a good opporunity to start something simple.
So, if anyone's interested then I'll start a branch (which can be dumped later if we don't like it) and start a wiki page to summarise where we might make use of Java 5 - certainly in the API, and maybe internally.
