JRE 1.5

anyone know the market share of JRE 1.5 vs 1.4 vs 1.3 vs 1.2 vs 1.1 etc....basically, can i write a 1.5 applet with 1.5-features and expect 90% of the web to be able to view it no problem?

No, mainly because IE either does not bundle java anymore or bundles 1.1.6.- Saish

If you could ensure that the users of your website have 1.5, there is no reason not to have generics. Of course, you could always write a code without generics too.
