Just to chime in, we have always developed our applications to run on the
prior version of Java - until last week that was 1.3.x. That is a business
decision, as many people have older computers that they don't upgrade
unless they __have__ to: If I didn't belong to ADC, I doubt that I'd of
upgraded our 466 to 10.3, I know that only clients with new computers have
10.3, and likewise for Windows, where they downloaded Java 1.3 or the
computer came with Java pre-installed. I think of it this way, given a
choice of only one: would you prefer that a user upgrade your software or
the operating system?
Anyway, after we finish the current update, we'll either consider moving
to 1.4 or decide to add more features to the 1.3 version -- depending upon
the business case. I'm still not sure what features in the newer Java
release will help make our applications "better/smart/faster", and I doubt
that we will re-fit old code that works quite well to the newer Java
release until we see an advantage.
