Well, to pass the TCK, we needed 1.5.0_12. Versions from _07 to _11 had parser issues that caused some problems. Thus, I do recommend 1.5.0_12 (I think _13 is now out). > Also, should I > pursue using JDK6 for deployment? Do I gain anything with JDK6 as far > as CXF is concerned? I would not use jdk6 for right now. JDK6 is definitely going to cause us problems on trunk. jk6 includes older versions of the jaxws and jaxb jars which may conflict with the ones we require. Thus, to work with jdk6, some stuff may need to be copied from our lib dir to the jre/lib dir. We haven't spent much time investigating that yet as trunk is still moving/changing pretty fast. 2.0.2 SHOULD work OK with Java 6. It's mostly the new stuff on trunk that will be a problem. -- J.
