Java 6 [Was: Cayenne and JAX-WS / JAXB]

[Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>]

I don't disagree with that (although check the EOL note here [1]),  
still this shouldn't matter. Consider that Cayenne being Java 1.4 in  
the recent past did not prevent us from fully supporting enums. The  
mechanism to develop and test multi-JDK extensions is there, so if we  
see a benefit, we can easily start adding Java6-only features.

To me personally the turning point in my interest in Java 6 was Apple  
releasing the JDK for Mac about a month ago. Until then I didn't  
bother to look this way.

I've heard rumors of properties for Java 7 -- if you've ever used VB6
classes, you probably have a good idea of what that means; think of a
public member which may have read-only, write-only, or read-write access
-- which would cause the deprecation of getters/setters.

That seems like a rather short period for Java 1.5.  We are just now
starting to incorporate some Java 1.5 features here (I convinced them
to switch).  Java 1.6 is not an option here yet (Apple didn't release
it for Tiger).  I guess we'll get squeezed by Sun and Apple.  :-)

I'm kind of looking forward to Java 1.7.  Apparently they are going to
allow "void" to auto-return "this" so that you can daisy-chain
setters.  (Something I loved in Objective-C until Distributed Objects
changed everything.)
