Sufficient takeup to justify the time. Don't expect that for several years yet. At this point XOM runs on 1.2 and later, and it wouldn't be too hard to make a version that could run on 1.1 if anyone needed that.

I suspect that really taking advantage of Java 5 would require a rethink of the API to use generics, and even there I'm not sure since generics aren't type safe. probably the best approach would be to start with JDOM or XOM and fork it. JDOM might work better because it already has an API base don the Collections API.
