Thank you Daniel - that was the thing I was looking for (even if it
still needs 1.5 :)).

Java 5 has been out for two years now. It's up to revision 9. It's not beta
software any more, folks.

That is true, and oh what a wonderful world it would be if every Java
shop had completely ported existing Java 1.4 (or lower) applications to
the latest stable Java. Unfortunately, the real world is often
neglectful of such considerations, as 1.5 is not 100% backward
compatible.

I would start all of my new projects in 1.5, and port any 1.4 project
if I had the choice. Luckily my Job allows me to start new projects in
1.5, but we have legacy systems to support.

Although, it seems Mark is fine using 1.5, which is very much a good
thing.
