java 1.4 versus 1.5
Java 1.5 has been out for a couple of years now and has some nice
improvements in the libraries. In particular, I wish I had access to
the timeout settings on UrlConnections. Would anyone object if starting
with the 0.3 release this week, we required java 1.5 to compile and run
Hadoop?

Do it; java 1.5 has much better profilability too.

Since you contributed a non-Java-1.5 patch for HADOOP-259, let's go
ahead and release 0.3 without a Java 1.5 requirement, then start
permitting Java 1.5 in changes for 0.4. That way we give folks a bit
more notice and a bit more time to object. I doubt we'll hear many
objections, but I don't want to surprise folks too much with this kind
of change.
Does this sound like a reasonable plan?
