When you say "support" do you mean two active versions under
development or the moving the main development to JDK 1.5 with a JDK
1.3 branch mainly for bug fixes?

I don't have a problem with moving to JDK 1.5 - but are you talking
evolutionary or revolutionaty (i.e. binary incompatible, package name
change etc.) here? Like Jochen IMO it would be better if you expand on
your intention.

They could, but Its not something I'd be interested in doing.
