Thanks. By upgrading I meant is there much mileage in moving our code
base to JDK 1.6.
I still do not understand why you would want to
'move' to 1.6, rather than ensure the application
will run under either 1.5, *or* 1.6.
But if your application runs just fine* under 1.5,
and you only intend to support 'a version',
why 'move' it to 1.6 at all?
...
So it's really a question of the benefits in doing this.
I can see very few, if the app. is only advertised to run
under one version, and the customers have that version.
...If, for
instance, 1.6 doesnot resolve a whole host of bugs ..
* Bugs that affect you app.? What bugs?
...or similar benefits
Like what? The only things I can think of besides
bug fixes are..
- something linke a newer, better, packing mechanism
(probably thinking pack200 in Java 1.5), or
- new functionality - new classes, methods, API's.
What kind of 'benefits' are you expecting or hoping for?
