Java 5
I had the pleasure of switching to Java 5 a couple of months ago. Due to various technical restrictions I could neither switch to it for my consulting job nor for the DJT Gantt chart development. I initially planned to use Java 2 (1.4.2) for the next-gen Gantt chart FlexGantt so that its market potential is larger.
I started using Java 5 "by accident" because I forgot to configure my Eclipse IDE correctly. I had Java 5 installed on my machine but didn't change the Eclipse settings in such a way that it would use the Java 1.4 compatability mode. I ended up using Drag & Drop API that wasn't available in Java 2. Once I noticed my mistake I didn't feel like switching back anymore because I liked what I could do with Java 5. I then looked into all the other features of Java 5 and decided to not go back anymore. I never regreted that decision.
