Re: Moving to Java 1.5?

I vote for 1.5!  We have no need for 1.4 compatibility.  I'm actually 
running it on Java SE 6...so I'm good.

RE: Moving to Java 1.5?

As I know Java 1.5 is a kind of norm nowadays - I myself have been using Java 1.5.X for the past two years, so I
think the later version of UIMA should move to 1.5 as soon as possible.
