Our clients still do and this forces us not to be able to use 1.5 on the
server side (and yes, it is *very* frustrating). These are large industrial
clients for which the J2EE applications are deployed in existing server
farms that they certified internally to be ok. Requiring a new JDK on their
Solaris machines (which might also mean who-knows-what-OS-patches) will not
budge them to do it. Technological companies move faster but
brick-and-mortar enterprises are not always as fast.
So if you aim for maximum adoption, I think you need to support 1.4. Even
Spring still runs on JDK1.4 and that tells something.
