Hi,
Actually, unless Groovy 1.5 really needs Java 6 features (which I would
tend to doubt), the maintainer should compile the package with Java 1.5
or even 1.4, so that it works with all "Javas".
As a side note, Java 1.4 is still state of the art on many non-x86
platforms.

Hello
Groovy now needs Java6 and else just prints "invalid jar file format".
Isn't it possible to depend on a virtual package like "java-virtual-machine-6"
instead of "java-virtual-machine" to remind the user that java5 is
no longer state of the art? Sadly Debian seems not to have an automated
upgrade to the Java6 packages.
bye,
