Hi all together,<br /><br />has anyone consider Java5 EOL yet? Just two month till support is running out (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp). I think personally think that there is no reason to longer support Java5. Especially since WebBeans is a JEE6 technology which works best in an environment which partly needs Java6 as base! Anyone has information about Java6 adoption in the wild! :-)<br /><br />Greets Benjamin<br /><blockquote type="cite">

<p>Personally I think we should just forge ahead. The upgrade from Java 5 to 6 is not nearly as severe as it was from 1.4 to 5. Additionally, much of the success of EJB 3.0, Seam and other modern frameworks can be attributed to the use of new language features such as annotations and generics. If you move forward, the users will too. When you hold back, you just condone the resistence to upgrade.<br /><br />Granted, I tend to be progressive, but my feeling is, why not put your best foot forward?<br /><br />-Dan<br /><br /></p>
