perfsonar development work

["Nina Jeliazkova" <>]

Hello Gijs, All,

I think the best is to get user and developers feedback on this issue.

Currently perfsonarUI compiles under Java 5.0 and higher. Gijs submitted some
plugin UI code which needs Java 6.0. So far the options for perfsonarUI are:

- Upgrade to Java 6.0 and abandon 5.0 support;
- Stay with Java 5.0 for now and provide different build file for the plugins;
- Force all plugins to use same version (Java 5.0 currently);
- Anything else?


Best regards,
Nina
