Anyone still using JDK 1.3?

James still supports JDK 1.3, but lately we're wondering if anyone still
cares.  If you are still using JDK prior to JDK 1.4.0, please let us know.

Seems like there are enough people who want to stick with 1.3.

How about this... the next release of JavaMail (version 1.4 which 
shouldn't be for many many months) will require 1.4.  At that point we 
can again discuss whether it's worth upgrading as this is probably a 
pretty good justification to upgrade.

my 2c (as if you care!) is that James should stay with 1.3 until a
particular new piece of code cannot be written without a higher version, or
until a very significant improvement in performance is achieved through the
adoption of a higher version.

At that point I'd expect there to be a vote by comitters, and if the time is
right it will be a landslide. Up 'till now we've pretty much allowed
ourselves to be vetoed by even a single well explained reason to stay with
1.3, because there hasn't been an equally compelling case to upgrade.

I'm thinking about the java.nio.*; if I recall correctly, the TCP port
can be monitored. It's not about open or closed, but how many bytes
also. I think that would make (a hypothetical) James monitor component
quite interesting; so, instead of just, say, having a message is being
sent or completely sent status, we can also have how many bytes have
been sent up till now.

We're still using JDK 1.3.

The issue also arises for small companies (like ours) who are providing 
solutions - where JAMES is a key component - to larger companiens.  I agree
with Aaron's point of view.

RE: Anyone still using JDK 1.3?

Posted by Randahl Fink Isaksen <ra...@rockit.dk>.
The point of view about large companies moving forward slowly is fair I
think. I am not sure, however, whether slow-moving companies represent
the majority of the James users. If most James users are large companies
which find themselves incapable of upgrading their JDKs, I understand
why James would have to stick to 1.3 for some time; and if the James
developers choose to stick to 1.3, I sure hope that it is in fact the
case that most James users are such slow moving companies. Otherwise, if
those companies represent a small minority, I think its wrong to keep
James from evolving and taking advantage of the useful new features of
1.4.

Maybe there should be an on-line user poll to find out, what kinds of
companies use James - knowing your target group well is a good basis for
many development decisions...

Unfortunately, those of us who work for large companies don't have the 
luxury of a viewpoint such as this.  A company with a large IT 
infrastructure is often not as quick on its feet as we would like it to 
be.  It can take years to upgrade to a new version of a software 
product, depending on how important the move is perceived to be by those

at the top.

As for running both JDK's on your servers, this is not as easy as it 
sounds.  Yes, it is technically easy - but getting JDK 1.4 onto an HP-UX

box means patching the OS to the recommended minimum level, which means 
re-testing everything on that box, which means taking down a production 
box, running all sorts of critical applications, for a good chunk of 
time.  Not something that is easy to get past the network ops team.

I think that the best approach for now is to do as Steve and Vincenzo 
suggest and aim to move to 1.4 for James 3.0.  In addition to this, a 
stream should be left open for development (or at least maintenance) of 
James on 1.3.1.

RE: Anyone still using JDK 1.3?

Posted by Randahl Fink Isaksen <ra...@rockit.dk>.
To Daniel and Noel (and everyone else)

We have moved on to 1.4. I do not really see how moving forward can be a
problem; if people have applications which require a JDK 1.3 they can
always run both a JDK 1.3 and a JDK 1.4 on their server, and have the
old applications run on the 1.3 and James on the 1.4.

Since James is an open source project dependant on volunteer developers,
and since 1.4 has many helpful features, wouldn't it be best to provide
the developers with the best platform possible? I think that giving the
developers the best possible development environment is good for the
productivity in any project. Unfortunately I myself is not a James
developer, but I have been a 1.4 developer for a long time, and I for
one would definitely not like to step back to 1.3.

RE: Anyone still using JDK 1.3?

Posted by Steve Brewin <sb...@synsys.com>.
Can we say that James 3 will require JDK 1.4? This would seem a reasonable
breakpoint.

It would be good to be able to use JDK 1.4 features without worrying about
backward compatibility.

As it stands, James' source is not JDK 1.4 compatible due to JDBC 3 being
introduced in JDK 1.4. JDBC 3 is not source compatible with JDBC 2 as used
by James'. See http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/compatibility.html, item 10.
James' Ant build detects the presence of JDBC 3 and uncomments the required
code, so it can be compiled using JDK 1.4.

Moving forward it would be good to be able to drop such workarounds  - just
in time for JDK 1.5!
