Re: [emfcp-dev] Java 6 vs. 5

Dear Committers,
I would like to bring up the question if we still want to run and/or
compile on Java 5 or if we should move on to Java 6. I am looking
forward to hear your opinions.
IMHO this is not so much a question for committers because moving on to Java 6 mostly means to leave Java 5 users
behind. The questions should be:
1) Would Java 5 *users* accept to upgrade?
2) What would *they* gain?
And these questions should be asked on a forum that reaces users ;-)
Please note that "users" include other projects that may have their own restrictions. Compare
https://bugs.eclipse.org/361932
My personal opinion is that the @Override for interface method implementations is the most appealing thing in Java 6.
Hard to argue that users would gain some value from this, so it does not justify a change.
Cheers
