Then I think the solution is rather clear: we need to migrate to 1.5.
If Sun is not supporting Java 1.4 then I don't want to support it as
well in our _trunk_.
People that need to stick to Java 1.4 still have a choice: We have
released 2.2 that works with Java 1.4.
Therefore I propose to switch to 1.5 and focus on getting real work done.
But when switching the version why don't switch to 1.6 (I think it's on
MacOSX now also available). Otherwise we have to switch again in 1 year
or so (see http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html). EOL
for 1.5 is October 2009.
WDYT?
