Hi all,
I have decided to upgrade the minimal requirement of Java from version
5 (1.5) to version 6 for future versions of OmegaT+.
This is to be done to possibly take advantage of newer features and
also because version 5 (J2SE 5.0) has reached its end of service life,
as stated by Sun on their website (http://java.sun.com/javase/). Thus,
it will not have any more upgrades or bug fixes.
Most users and operating systems now use version 6 as the default
(Linux, Windows, OS X 10.5/10.6). Those on older or unsupported
versions of OS X (10.4 and lower) will not be able
to upgrade. If you are in the unfortunate position on a Mac of not
being able to get version 6,
you can thank Apple for deciding not to provide it for their
customers.
