Hi All,

There are two JIRA issues that concern the Java version we should support with 
Amdatu:

http://jira.amdatu.org/jira/browse/AMDATU-122

http://jira.amdatu.org/jira/browse/AMDATU-110

Issue AMDATU-122 was about Java 6 annotations used in Amdatu while the pom 
claimed to support Java 5. We agreed that we should support Java 5 and so these 
annotations were removed.
Issue AMDATU-110 is about upgrading Cassandra from 0.6 to 0.7. Although it 
seems that 0.6 already required Java 6, after upgrading to 0.7 Amdatu does not 
compile anymore on Java 5 (apparently, latest Cassandra libraries were compiled 
using Java 6+). The Cassandra WIKI explicitly claims that Java 6+ is required, 
both compile time and runtime. So that would mean that if we want to support 
Cassandra, we need Java 6. When in the future Cassandra becomes a subproject, 
we could require Java 6 only when using Cassandra.

What do you think? Should we support Java 5 or can we require Java 6?

Regards, Ivo
