I think we need to make a decision about whether or not we want to 
support JDK 1.5 and what this means for backwords compatability. 

What are the pros and cons at this point? 

I don't think its practical using the server without SSL so I don't mind 
jumping to 1.5.  If it does not happen today it will in the next 6 
months I think. 

I still have not started using the new features that arrived in 1.4 :( 
but this is another story.
