[Laszlo-dev] considering dropping support for java 1.4 - opinions?

[Benjamin Shine]

We're considering dropping support for java 1.4. Right now we  
recommend java 1.5, but we haven't done anything to the servlet and  
compiler that requires java 1.5. (There is some use of java 1.5 in  
the documentation tools and performance analysis tools.) This would  
be just for OL4 and later, not for the 3.x work.

Is anyone stuck in a java 1.4 environment who would want to be able  
to deploy OL4 and future releases? Would anyone mind if we dropped  
support for java 1.4? Does anyone even know of real deployments in  
the world which could not update to java 1.5?

(I have been experimenting with java 1.6 and so far it seems to work,  
but it will be a while before we can really call it "supported.")
