[hibernate-dev] Hibernate & Java 5 ?

[Alex Snaps]

We've been doing some improvement to the Hibernate statistics at
Terracotta, when we realized how much the synchronization on it was
impacting throughput in our tests.
That is work we wanted to contribute back to you guys, should
Hibernate Core be target at 1.5. As it seems that's not yet the case,
so there isn't much you guys will be able to do with these changes...
We discussed about that at Devoxx with Max and Emmanuel and thought it
was okay to have 1.5 impl. of the specs (java.util.concurrent based)
already. Apparently not :( What timeframe do you see 1.4 support being
dropped?
