I would be very glad to talk about this. Christine - see if we can get a time to talk in the next 2-3 week setting aside an hour.
I did stick a few "barb" comments into that email about cross platform which I should have avoided but it's a key topic that has me worried.
The email exchange this morning with Charles Fitzgerald was very helpful to my thinking on this. I think supporting JDK 1.1 is fine and I am hard core about NOT supporting JDK 1.2. I really needed to understand where we were going to draw the line because I am so afraid of the slippery slope.
If you think we should support JDK 1.2 its ok but you will really have to explain why and where it stops.
