Use JDK 1.5. There are a LOT of issues with 1.6 that make it not usable. 1) The versions of STAX, JAXB, JAX-WS, etc... that we require/use are not compatible with the ones in 1.6. With maven, there isn't a way to "endorse" the ones we need to use. 2) Maven has some dependency resolution and download problems with JDK 1.6. There are SEVERAL bugs logged with maven around 1.6. You can SOMETIMES get around this by building once with 1.5 (to download the deps) and then build with 1.6. 3) The parser and such is different. Some of our tests are failing with JDK 1.6. Anyway, stick with 1.5 for CXF for now.
