Dear Wayne and those who may suffer like me!

We were informed with the latest ImageJ-version 1-49n that

        "ImageJ now requires Java 6 or later."

I understand that IT is moving on and that that holds for ImageJ as well...

What I don't really understand is, why this essential change happens
with a small version change (from 49m to 49n). Why could this
requirement not wait for a major version change, e.g. from 49 to 50?

As you may have guessed, I'm still working on a MacPro with two
PPC-processors under OSX 10.4.11. There is _no_ way to update to Java 6.

I very much should like to see an ImageJ-version with as much
bugs/regressions corrected that does not require Java 6.
(ImageJ-version 1-49n corrects regressions but needs Java 6 which is
less than suboptimum.)

New features that require Java 6 are a different story, but there should
be a final ImageJ-version that runs with Java 5 and that has all known
bugs corrected.

Is this possible?

All the very best and have a great holiday season

Herbie
