I was wondering if anyone has any major objections for the Gantt chart to
move to use Java 5.
I'm getting really tired of all the object casting I do to make it conform
to 1.4, which is not only error prone but slow, and there's quite a lot of
useful other Java 5 features I'd like to bring in. I really don't have a
clue how many use the Gantt chart apart from a few emails here and there and
what peoples requirements are as far as Java versions go. It seems at this
point most have moved to Java 5. But before I do anything drastic I thought
I'd check and see. I recall Nebula builds breaking under 5.0 or something,
but how long are we going to live under 1.4, at some point we got to move
on, right?
Feel free to chime in even if you don't use the widget. The other widgets I
don't mind leaving at 1.4 as the size of the code is considerably smaller.

Wouldn't that make it harder to comply with Eclipse 3.3/3.4?
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_p lan_3_4.html
.... as long as Eclipse states a vast compatibility with Java 1.4?
For instance we are using the Gantt chart within a RCP application and due to
third library constraints we could have moved to Java 5 just a couple of months
ago.
