What do people think about making Java 5, which was released almost _2 years
ago_, the minimum requirement for trunk?

Quoting Bruno from the Daisy list, I'd say that we can benefit from some new
features too: "... we can make use of features like generics, the enhanced for
loop, the concurrency API (instead of util-concurrent lib)
StringBuilder, enums (instead of enum pattern), and the build in JMX
support."


+1. We're using Java 5 for everything these days, but one caveat: I've
had some problems running a Java 5 compiled Cocoon 2.1 under JBoss; it
works under JBoss 4.0.4 GA (the most recent) but I haven't stress
tested this combination yet in production, don't know if the release
of JBoss is completely stable...
