[seam-dev] [Fwd: Re: Java 5]

[Arbi Sookazian]

You have a point but there are many shops out there (believe it or not) that
are running JVM 1.4 (I worked at one recently).  They do not have the
time/money/resources/needs to upgrade.  For Seam apps, 1.5 minimum is
obviously required.  This is most likely about supporting as many
customers/users as possible.  Our current Seam/EE5 project is running JVM
1.5.  Thank god for annotations, varargs and generics, etc.

On the other hand, it would be nice to "force" shops to upgrade their
JRE/JDK to 1.6 as a pre-requisite for JBoss 6...
