[Gvsig_english] GvSIG 2.0 Java 1.6 support

[Mijail]

A small warning: regarding the next version of Mac OS X, as far as I  
know, there is no official word yet about which Java version/s (or  
variants: 32/64 bits? PPC/Intel?) will be available.
Although I agree that being Java 1.6 capable would be good, just in  
case :).


> Dear developers,
>
> I am writing because I am a bit worried about Java 1.6 in gvSIG 2.0.
> I understand that all development is based on Java 1.5 at the moment
> and that it would be a major effort to switch the entire development
> process to 1.6.
>
> However, as far as I can see, the only part of gvSIG 12xx currently
> not working with 1.6 is the labeling dialogs. I think it would be
> a shame if this remained so in the final version and users could
> make no use of the dramatically increased speed and Windows Vista
> compatibility of Java 1.6. In addition, newer versions of Mac OS X
> come with Java 1.6 "hard-wired" and a downgrade is not easy for Mac
> users.

> After all, gvSIG 1.1.2 works just fine with Java 1.6 and I think this
> would be a serious regression for 2.0!
>
> I would like to appeal to you to consider having some sort of Java 1.6
> compatibility test before the release of version 2.0. I offer my full
> support in testing for 1.6 compatibility and would try to help  
> improving
> it using the limited Java knowledge I have.

> Best,
