iBatis change to 1.5

["Trenton D. Adams" <tr...@athabascau.ca>]

Hi Guys,

I noticed that iBatis changed to Java 1.5 in a minor version.  I don't recommend doing that in the future, as it can cause some pain.  And, if you do plan on doing that, it might be pertinent to bump the major version, whether you've got major changes or not.

Sure, the API may have remained the same, so that makes it less painful, as you can just jump back down to an older version.  But, the annoyance still remains. :P

Trenton,
Thanks for the input.  As a team we felt that given the fact that Java 5
came out in 2004 we gave the community ample time to upgrade :)  The added
features and performance gains were enough for us to jump.  I think the
right move for us was a minor release increment.

In fact....

J2SE 5.0 entered its
end-of-life<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-life_%28product%29>on
April 8, 2008 and will be unsupported by Sun as of October 30, 2009.

If that is not enough to get your boss's approval they should be fired :)
