[wtp-dev] Server tools framework move to Java 5

[Tim deBoer <deboer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Since the beginning of WTP the server
framework (wst.server and jst.server) has been based on Java 1.4. Since
Java 5 is now dominant and prereqs like facets have already moved to Java
5, it's time for us to move too. Starting in WTP 3.0 M2, the server framework
will move to Java 5.

This change will not affect API or other
usage - it is a largely internal change that will allow us to make use
of Java 5 features and type safety in collections. We have no known adopters
still using 1.4, but if you have any comments or concerns, please visit
bug 201570.
