| Hi guys,
we are currently thinking of moving from Java 1.4 to Java 5. The question is
: "When ?"
[ ] Let's use Java 5 right now in 1.1 version (which is currently the
trunk), and this will become the 1.5 release
[ ] 1.1, 1.2 ... should remain 1.4 compatible. However, let's create a
1.5branch for Java 5
[ ] Forget about Java 5 right now. 2.0 will be Java 5 compatible.

| Backward compatibility is important.
[ X] 1.1, 1.2 ... should remain 1.4 compatible. However, let's create =20=
a 1.5 branch for Java 5
Do you know Geronimo requirement?
That said, I think ADS 2.0 doesn't have to support 1.4 IMHO

I think this information is crucial. Geronimo is probably our most
important user, it brings us a lot of installations. Currently, they
don't even ship with ApacheDS 1.0 yet.
If we maintain a 1.0 for the current G, it is OK for me to change to
Java 1.5 for ApacheDS 1.1.
[X] Let's use Java 5 right now in 1.1 version (which is currently the
trunk), and this will become the 1.5 release
Btw: Note that our Open Group certification is only valid in Java 1.5
environments anyway.

Yep, but we eared yesturday that Geronimo may switch to java5. And 1.0 is
1.4 compatible.

For me the question is: "Why?" :-)
There are some very good reasons for switching to 5. I'd just like to
know which ones are the key motivators.
If it is for the syntactic sugar and generics, that's fine with me.
Retrotranslator works reasonably well for those cases, just in case one
really needs a 1.4 compatible version. The library is a different kind
of beast, though, and once there is a dependency on a large number of
new library features, there's no way back.
So, I'd prefer...
[x] Let's use Java 5 right now in 1.1 version (which is currently the
trunk), and this will become the 1.5 release
.... with the additional caveat, to try to preserve library
backwards-compatibility as long as possible.

I like the idea of releasing a Java 5 implementation of MINA and
calling it version 1.5. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to
develop something as 1.1 and then turn around and release it as 1.5.

This vote is for ApacheDS, instead of MINA. We will talk about MINA
versioning scheme later. I'm forging one, so please stay tuned.
