To some degree, that's because the EE 5 specs are not final yet ... so no one (including Sun) can actually release a server claiming compatibility with these versions yet. That'll change when the specs go final, which should be pretty soon. And also I am not sure if it is possible to use SE 5 > features (generics, annotations etc..) within a 1.4 application server > (such as geronimo). As long as your 1.4 app server certifies that it can run on SE 5, then you can certainly use SE 5 features in your applications. For example the Shale Tiger extensions work just fine on things like Tomcat 5, as long as I run the server on SE 5. Thanks, > Bahadir Craig
