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

[hanasaki]

How do people feel about ANTLR 3.0 requiring 1.4 JDK or above?  I want
two things so far:

LinkedHashMap

and

memory mapped I/O

Thoughts?  Perhaps those using 1.3 are doing so for legacy reasons and
therefore are having to use 2.x version of ANTLR anyway.

As a general rule, I recommend to my clients that they should move to a 
version no later than one year after it goes to final release.  Having 
said this, I know of several projects that currently locked into 1.3.x 
and a few at 1.2.x for "interesting" business reasons.

My vote: use 1.4! NIO and memory mapping may do wonders for speed!
as for 1.5 aka 5.0?... maybe fall 2005 if there is any specific feature 
that will add major value to antlr that is.  Supporting production 
products on a two version old jdk sounds like an exception that costs 
for support.
