Moving to Java 1.5?
Hi all,
our upcoming (hopefully very soon) 2.2 release will still
be Java 1.4 compatible. We're currently having a discussion
on the development list if for the next version, we should
move to Java 1.5. This would mean that future UIMA versions
would no longer be able to run in Java 1.4, but would
require 1.5 or newer.
Java 1.4 is getting quite long in the tooth, and most people
have moved. Java 1.5 brought many changes and improvements
which we would like to be able to exploit in UIMA.
So my question is: would this cause major headaches for
anybody around here? Anybody still committed to Java 1.4
for the foreseeable future?
The corresponding uima-dev mail thread is here:

Already running on 1.5, thank you for asking ;)

As I know Java 1.5 is a kind of norm nowadays - I myself have been using Java 1.5.X for the past two years, so I think the later version of UIMA should move to 1.5 as soon as possible.

I vote for 1.5! We have no need for 1.4 compatibility. I'm actually
running it on Java SE 6...so I'm good.

I vote for 1.5! We have no need for 1.4 compatibility. I'm actually
running it on Java SE 6...so I'm good.

Hi all,
our upcoming (hopefully very soon) 2.2 release will still be Java 1.4
compatible. We're currently having a discussion on the development list
if for the next version, we should move to Java 1.5. This would mean
that future UIMA versions would no longer be able to run in Java 1.4,
but would require 1.5 or newer.
Java 1.4 is getting quite long in the tooth, and most people have moved.
Java 1.5 brought many changes and improvements which we would like to be
able to exploit in UIMA.
So my question is: would this cause major headaches for anybody around
here? Anybody still committed to Java 1.4 for the foreseeable future?

I'm with Yoshinobu. I've caught myself looking for generics several
times in the API, and they would be a welcome addition. That said, I'd
welcome a move to 1.5 myself.

I prefer moving to Java 1.5, and hope that the UIMA API will use generics in
later releases.

We also vote for 1.5.
This would enable some interesting new features, e.g. a better linking
of annotators and descriptors through Java annotations.
