[antlr-interest] Re: java 1.4 as min value?

[lgcraymer]

1.4 dates back to 2002.  java.sun.com provides only 1.4.2 and 5.0 (nee
1.5) for download.  IBM still supports a 1.3.1 download in addition to
1.4.  SGI supports a range of downloads, from 1.1.18 to 1.4.1

It looks like anyone depending on pre-1.4 has already got
maintainability problems and they can only get worse.

1.4 is a good baseline.  1.5 still scares me because of the addition
of generics, but I have yet to investigate whether Sun avoided the
pitfalls that C++ ran into with standardizing templates before
standard practice had emerged.
