I don't think the number is significant. It's very subjective, and I have no empirical data, just opinion from the tomcat-user list. If someone could show, for example, that more than a tenth of Tomcat users run with JDK 1.3 in production, I'd be convinced me JDK 1.3 is still significant. I completely agree WORA is essential, possibly the biggest advantage of the Java language/platform. But then why aren't we coding/building to JDK 1.1 or J2ME? It's a question of tradeoffs. Maybe we should have a vote on whether Tomcat 5.5 should require JDK 1.5?
