I agree with that point, it would make fixes a bit more harder to backport. Or at least they would require more attention. Also it would bring issue with the implementation of the new integration development. Personally the only feature I would like from Java 5 are annotations. So perhaps we could just use annotations when necessary and not use generics ? "chris.laprun(a)jboss.com" wrote : Also, what's the target for that migration? Subversion trunk I assume?
