Re: [udig-devel] java version for development

Only a few java 6 features are actually of interest to us; a JRuby embedded thing done in the spring for example.

There are three API's to JRuby, and only one requires java6, but admittedly it is the 'most official' one (JSR supported).

My most complete JRuby code (an embedded IRB console in an eclipse view) uses the low level JRuby interface because it gives me more power over starting up the interpreter, and that should run on java5 (but I must admit I only test on java6).

JRuby and other dynamic languages are going to get a huge boost with Java7. Are Apple going to slow the move of uDIG to Java7 too?
