RoadMap to Java 1.5

["A. Rick Anderson" <a_...@earthlink.net>]

Is there a published road map, or even an explicit intention, for the 
official POI project to move to Java 1.5?

Also, I have tried unsuccessfully to point my eclipse workspace to the 
POI SVN tree and sync.  I have looked, but not been able to locate docs 
on doing this.  Any pointers would be appreciated.

All of POI works quite happily with java 1.5, and should be fine with 1.6+

For now, a lot of the users are still using java 1.4. So, we continue to 
ensure that POI works fine with java 1.4, even if it means the odd bit of 
code that's more verbose than 1.5 would allow it.

I can't see us updating the code to take advantage of 1.5 features until 
such time as most users are on 1.5, and even then it'd need a vote.

SVN is handled apache wide:
