RE: [tcljava-user] fileevent and sockets in jacl

[Rob R. <rr...@fu...>]

Mo,

I'd even be more aggressive and go straight to using JDK 1.5. There many
benefits to using 1.5 over 1.4 now that it might be worth considering the move
now. It seems with the 1.6 release coming out around the corner that 1.4 is
pretty dated now. But, yes I'd say that 1.4 should be the oldest JDK supported
(if there is a great demand for that.)

JMHO,

Rob
