If you're dreaming, then I'm dreaming the same thing.

That said, I think I read somewhere that Sun had dropped support for 1.4(is that true or
I am dreaming it?). If this is true it might be good to
continue supporting 1.5. I guess we need to check if there are any users
out there who absolutely require 1.4 in production. We might want to have
a special build for them while making the standard build work on 1.5.
Java 1.4 is still a safety standard on some of the major Linux distributions
(Blackdown JDK). It will be hard to convince that many sysadmins to change
the distro or to install "untrusted" packages. So we must still support Java
1.4, at least for a while, until Java really gets Open Source and gets
accepted by the GPL-addicted community.
