I don't know if he is, but I am.

The point was made upthread that when you introduce a new Java version, you must regression-test it like any other system component. If that regression introduces new warnings or errors, and you leave them alone, that's poor development. Period.

The team introduces a change - let's upgrade to Java 5 (already out of date, BTW). That change introduces regressions. The team ignores the regressions. How can anyone make the case that that's good software development?
