If we do not upgrade to JDK 1.5 in 4.1 then that pushes us to 4.2 in 2007. This is unacceptably "late" and will affect the marketability of Tapestry. Ideally we should peg our JDK support to the same level as JBOSS and keep them in lockstep. Ed

I only use JDK1.5 for all my projects these days. It's a shame I cannot fully use Generics with T4 because it tries to stay backward compatible. Newer JDK-versions tend to bring with them more ease-of-use for developers (hence more productivity). People that want to stick with old JDKs (mostly because of stability) can stick with older versions of the framework as well, since those versions are also known to be stable. I think trying to stay backward compatible for too long will hurt progress.
