Re: [cssparser-developers] JDK Compatibility

[D&J G. <djg...@gm...>]

Yeah, the project I'm currently working on is stuck at Java 5 due to our use
of OAS.

I think Java 5 is the new JDK 1.4 :-)

Anyways, I'll go ahead and set the min in the POM, but if anyone else has
any comments, feel free to speak up.

Regards,

Daniel
