Agenda

• jsr14 mode and Java 7 issues
• project health

JSR14

• Tom expresses the desire to simply move up to Java 5 where generic APIs are defined.
  • We could attempt to avoid usage of APIs introduced in Java 5, but the value of doing so seems very low.
  • There are concerns that once there is a new embedded vm that supports Java 5 language constructs or higher then we will no longer be able to support them.
  • We should cross that bridge if we ever come to it.

Project health

• Much discussion over the project health
  • how to recruit new committers that are concerned about the overall health of the project instead of their own agenda.
