Bit of both, clearly this this is the current Java release we should at
least test if we are running OK, so I'll update my SDK, which means it
would be nice to develop with this too. Then there's people like Tim who
just want to build and grab the latest release, as you'd do.
On this topic, what's your current status (/VO world) with respect to
language features? Still sticking with 1.4, or is it time to unleash some
1.5?
Cheers,
Peter.
