Why I’m not on Java 5 yet (bis)
February 22nd, 2006
The last couple of weeks, I've become a big fan of the JavaPosse podcast. I'm catching up on the last month or three, during commutes. This evening, while listening to this episode, I heard one of the voices say something along the lines of "I just read a blog of somebody declaring 'why he is not on Java 5 yet'. I was surprised to see 'Webpshere' as the reason" (it's not verbatim -podcasts are very hard to quote).
I can only imagine that he was referring to this: de tomKronieken » Why I’m not on Java 5 yet. And now, on my turn, I'm surprised to learn that people are surprised by that statement. The last few years, I've worked in various positions, and in every position, I've posed the question "can we use Java 5?". While I was working on a product, the answer was "No - we want to serve our (potential) Websphere-using customers too". While doing consultancy, the answer was "No - this is a big company (at least for Belgian standards) that has all of its web applications standardized on WebSphere. All support that exists, is WebSphere-based. I don't want to give operational support for JBoss myself, so we will use that WebSphere support that is available."
Moreover, when evaluating products to use at that client's site, some of them didn't pass because they use Java 5.
So Java 5 is still a risk - at least while WebSphere keeps lagging behind, and while they have such a big installation base (and my guess is that that will last for some time to come). Once they've catched up, the adoption will be enormous, in my opinion.

April 21st, 2008 at 10:18 PM java 5 isn't a problem with websphere. just stay away from the new syntax sugar and set your compiler to target java 1.4 at compile time.
April 21st, 2008 at 10:18 PM What I was saying is I was shocked WebSphere is not on JDK 5 yet. It's okay for customers to take a while before jumping to the latest and greatest - but big vendors should have products available for JDK 5 by now... (it's been out for quite a while)
April 21st, 2008 at 10:18 PM Tor, That makes sense. Which actually leads to me being surprised that IBM seems to be getting away with this. But that's another story, I guess.
April 21st, 2008 at 10:18 PM We find a number of customers are still using the (now quite old) 5.0.1 version; this is still stuck on JDK 1.3.1. Support for this version expires in September this year (counting the days), so hopefully then we'll be able to upgrade to more update to date JVMs! What we find is that IT departments have resisted the upgrade - understandable given the cost involved. With 10s of apps running on the platform the testing alone is not insignificant. This does not make it any the less frustrating! Our own software relies on many (excellent) open source libraries, 1.3.1 support is getting harder by the day, and in some cases we create our own builds from the source. We have to tread a careful path of delivering compatibility to our customers whilst making use of new technologies and bug fixes.
