[Biojava-dev] Java 1.5 (final chance to object)

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

Hello -

No one seemed to object to the idea of officially adopting java 1.5 for 
the biojava-live branch.

This would mean ...

biojava-live would require java1.5
generics, unboxing and other language features added in 1.5 will start to 
creep into the codebase.
all 'official' and 'preview' releases after biojava1.4 will require JDK1.5 
(Java 5).

If you plan to use new versions of biojava on a machine for which there is 
or will be no JDK1.5 then you should protest now!
