Hi devs,

I think it is time to completely switch to Java 5. It adds several nice features we could use.

I think it is safe to make the switch, given that:

- We get only few mails related to deployment on Java 1.4, and only very few say that they cannot drop 1.4. - Java 1.4 is in the late EOL process (should end this summer) - We already have some requirements on 1.5 libraries, so XWiki doesn't really work on 1.4, anyway

+1 Sergiu, you should ping Ludovic offline too about this since he was negative about this in the past. I'll also try to ping him about it. I definitely agree about moving to 1.5 though and I don't see how it can be a problem since XE doesn't work with 1.4 right now. Thanks -Vincent On Feb 15, 2008, at 2:56 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:
