Re: Introducing myself as new developer and TN5250j rpject changes

Martin,

I would be careful with anything that isn't BWC with Java 5.  I have 
several installations using tn5250j and a 1.4 JVM.  Regardless of what 
Sun "dictates" to the rest of us, we need to be market driven, not Sun 
driven.

Love to have some new development in TN5250j but immediately going to 
Java 6 and breaking BWC to Java 5 seems a little extreme, IMHO.
