[Biojava-dev] Moving to Java 1.5

[Sylvain Foisy]

Hi,

No harm done :-) !! You are quite right that as Mac users, we are spoiled.
But while other can d/l a non-beta JDK, we are still stuck with beta grade
software. I do play with JDK 1.5 and do some stuff but for production-grade
code, we stick with JDK 1.4.2.

Can't wait for Mustang. Should bring lots of improvement for desktop-type
apps in addition to server-side uses.

Best regards
