Hi,
It would be a barrier for those of us still on Microsoft's VM,
too. Don't know how many there are (or if someone knows a work-around?)
but it's still 1.1.x. If it's really just about the collection API
there's still the version Sun made a while back (package
com.sun.java.util.collections) and I wouldn't mind patching Xerces to
make it work -- you folks being so nice as to provide source and all :).
If you wanted other Java 2 features, though, I might not be able to...
That said, personally I wouldn't mind another reason to drive a
shift away from the platform I'm on. Feels like being in the stone age.

Subject: JDK 1.1.8 compatibility
Time to pick this topic up: should we still keep 1.1.8 compatibility,
when
JDK 1.4 is coming out?
To keep such compatibility
- We can't use new functionality provided by new JDK's (for example,
collection interfaces); and
- We have to sacrifice performance. Hashtable's and Vector's are used,
which are (painfully) synchronized.
We think it's time to move on to JDK 1.2. Anyone has any concerns about
it?
Cheers,
