I mean, who'd use a MacOS system to host a > webserver? :) ...well, to be quite honest, I'm developing Cocoon on Win98... yeah, people, the magic tool you all love comes from a stupid platform... why? well, if it works on my system works on everyone else's :) But I agree, I don't think there is enough need for 1.1 back compatibility anymore. And, besides, those systems who don't have a 1.2 platform should be somehow _pushed_ to do so. The only way is to start writing killer-apps that need 1.2 to work. Besides, if we stick on 1.1 forever, what's the point on pushing for a more open java platform? -- Stefano Mazzocchi One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
