Please review the system requirements before installing Confluence:

JAVA
Confluence requires JDK 1.4 or later.
DATABASE
Confluence is bundled with a pre-configured HSQL database for evaluation purposes only. For safe production use, it must be configured to use one of the following databases:
Fully Supported
Supported With Minor Workarounds
- PostgreSQL 7.1+
- Oracle 8i, 9i or later
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000+
- Sybase ASE 12.5.1+
If you have no preference, PostGreSQL is scalable, free and easy to setup. For database setup information, see Database Configuration.
SELECT CONFLUENCE EDITION
Confluence can be deployed in either:
- Pre-packaged with Apache Tomcat
- Recommended for all users
- Ready for production with an external database
|
- Deploys into an existing application server
- Suitable only for system administrators
- Offers no production advantages over Standalone edition
|
Technical support recommends Standalone edition even for organisations with an existing application server environment.

JDK 5 is quickly gaining grounds especially among development shops (which many of your customers must be, I would assume). Any chances you might start supporting it more officially some time soon? Thanks.

JDK 5 (Java 1.5) is fully supported on all editions of Confluence.
There is, however, a known problem migrating a Confluence instance from JDK 1.4 to JDK 5: due to slight changes in the 1.5 object model, the contents {dynamictasklist} macros will be lost. (see Re: Dynamic Tasklist Macro)

This is a significant problem for anybody with critical data in dynamic tasklists or other similar macros (any other dynamic macros affected?). Is there any way to export this data so it can be recovered? How does a Confluence admin know how much grief this will cause for users? What do you tell uses who lose the data and therefore lose confidence in Confluence?

I raised the priority of this issue and we will take a look at it for the next release.

Cheers,

Suggestion:
the text "it must be configured to use:" should be changed to "it must be configured to use one of the following databases:".
