We’re aware that there are some tradeoffs between sticking to JVM 1.4.2 and
upgrading to 1.5.0. We have carefully considered these alternatives a few
months ago and finally decided to upgrade. PerfsonarUI’s code is entirely
1.5.0 based since mid June 2006.

BTW, the upcoming Java 6 has some new security and web services related
features which might be of particular interest to perfSONAR, when they become
mature enough.

Best regards,
Vedrin
