Not aware of any specific language features devs might need, but given the major coming release I think it's a good time to up the version requirement and anticipate the need, so to speak. Perhaps the word "requirement" is not the best phrasing. What I have in mind mostly falls down to the level of "Does CAS run or support JDK6 and above?" The official wording that CAS requires 1.5 sort of gives the impression that if folks proceed with a later java version, the upgrade will break something in CAS.

As far as I know, there aren't any particular changes in the codebase that depend on JDK5 specifically and we at Unicon have been doing CAS deployments based on the JDK6 platform with much success. (I could possibly safely assume that most other adopters are already on JDK6, if not later). I think switching the platform requirement to 6 at the time of a major release would be a reasonable.
