Quickly, that is, if you understand the 2.0 type system - if you're learning 2.0 and converting your application at the same time, then the errors can be a bit confusing. > Do versions of > Java and other server-based software have an impact on making > this upgrade? No, not generally. There's always a possibility of configuration problems when you make changes to a complex environment, especially if it was only working "by accident" before (e.g. hidden dependencies on the order of JARs on your classpath) but that's nothing specific to the the 2.0 upgrade.
