I’m so sorry to hear it. Keep fighting the good fight; eventually everyone will be up to Java 5!
The development productivity I’ve seen with Java 5 and Java EE 5 has been astronomical. Its the best of everything. Although I have to admit that until MyEclipse catches up with netbeans they are losing customers everyday to Netbeans 5.5 and beyond, because of the ease of development. I’m rooting for ’em though.
