With regard to additional platform support (GWT, JavaFX, Android), I guess
it depends on the available development resources (our time!) and user demand.
Yup. I'm personally getting involved in Android, so bringing Glazed Lists into the fold there will be something I can take on.
To reduce some development and testing effort in the future, I've hinted at
dropping JDK 1.4 support for the next version.
What do you think of it?
Folks who are running on JDK 1.4 aren't interested in new versions of things, so I don't think we should waste effort trying to support them in the future. We'll continue to support our released code. If there's critical fixes, we'll have to create point releases (1.8.1 etc.) so they don't need to upgrade to HEAD.
I'd volunteer for making the first two steps, that is,
the required build-level and implementation-level changes.
(useful API-level changes could be the third step)
Fantastic. I'm undecided on whether we should break compatibility by getting rid of our lock wrappers.
