action, so I'd apreciate if this matter was solved rather soon.
This decision shouldn't block you at all. Actually you should put
your code in a plugin in xwiki-plugins/. That'll cleanly separate it
from the core and that'll also allow you to use JDK 1.5 for your plugin.
Regarding the vote, 72 hours is a minimum and yes I'll close the
vote. Ludovic wasn't completely in agreement so I let a few day pass.
I'll wrap the vote soon but again don't let that hold you on anything.
Thanks

At this point after talking with some clients, I think it is still a
problem to widely switch to 1.5 at this point.
Many big customers are running WebSphere 6.0 which is Java 1.4. We
could
exclude ourselves from these users, so we need to be carefull.
I would vote +1 for a default build in java 1.5 as long as we don't
change core libraries to only 1.5 compatible library but only new non
critical features that are only 1.5.
Which means we should still be able to compile a limited version of
XWiki in 1.4 by excluding these additionals non compatible features.
This also means which should not include any 1.5 language features in
our core code

Hi,
I think it's time to officially decide if we want to standardize on
1.5. Some reasons we may want to do this:
* JDK 1.4 is old. 1.5 is mainstream. 1.6 is about to be released.
* Most libraries have now switched to 1.5 and it's going to be real
hard to stay on 1.4 if we want to get bug fixes/new features from
the
libraries we use
* Radu needs to use some google jars for his GSOC and they seem to
require JDK 1.5
* We already require 1.5 I believe (although it's a light
dependency)
and have been requiring 1.5 for now several
months (> 5 months)
and we
haven't heard complaints from users about
this
The vote is about officially dropping support for 1.4 and
standardizing on 1.5 (and thus allowing us to use the new
features of
the language too like generics, annotations,
etc).
Here's my +1
Please cast your votes.
Thanks
-Vincent
