Re: [Gwt-openlayers-devl] Patch Review Request] Align pom.xml with GWT 1.5.3

[Farrukh N. <fa...@we...>]

+1 on moving to GWT 1.5. Now that GWT 1.6 is almost out I do not think 
we need to support GWT 1.4.
Please send any dissenting opinions by COB today. Barring none, I can 
commit proposed patch by tomorrow.

Thanks.
