Does anyone here have any direct experience with such a situation? I am
having a hard time imagining a case where a new development effort would
be forced for technical reasons not to deploy on a newer backwards
compatible jdk. Old 1.3 code will run (in some cases after
recompilation), and old projects can still use whatever jvm version they
need. But a new project based on a new version of Cocoon? Ok, a 2.1
project may want to upgrade but my experiences have shown upgrading jvm
generally painless compared to upgrading Cocoon versions...
