[hibernate-dev] 3.6

[Steve Ebersole]

This is a new release of Hibernate we are talking about.  If we go with JDK 1.6 support in 3.6 and people cannot use it in WAS because of this fact they can still use 3.5.

Hi Steve,
One environment that stings into my mind is WAS 6.1. This version of WebSphere AS is very popular ans still largely used, especially on mainframe platform. I came across WAS 6.1 when working with a few customers. As far as I know WAS 6.1 foes not have support for 1.6, so that would block Hibernate upgrade path for all the applications targeted for this environment and that would be regret.

One item scheduled for 3.6 is dropping JDK 1.4 support.  Which leaves

the question of whether to go 1.5 or 1.6.  I know 1.5 is within its EOL,

but I dont think that should be the deciding factor.



Really I was more thinking of JDBC differences and (1) not having to

maintain different JDBC 3 and JDBC 4 code and (2) leveraging some JDBC 4

features.  TO me the big question comes down to what environments do we

know that do not support JDK 1.6



Another option is to make the intermediate jump to 1.5 since I will not

be making the changes that would require compile time dep on 1.6 in our 3.6.



But at any rate, I'd like to understand the environments which currently

do not support 1.6.
