I am providing more reasons as brain food. I think people can change

2. Since we will be distributing binaries with Maven - I would think
that as long as all the Cocoon components are compiled with JDK 1.4
and none of the core dependencies require more than that that things
should be OK. A Cocoon user who is OK with Java 5 is certainly free
to use Qdox 1.6 (or whatever) in their build and at runtime -
assuming, of course, that the component in question has maintained
binary compatibility.
It is not going to work. AFAIK, maven does not care about java
versions. Hence, if the jar in the maven repo is being compiled for
1.5 we may receive the tipical compilation errors for cocoon beking
compiled in java 1.4:
Yes, Maven does not care about Java versions, but it does care about the
artifact versions. With the fix for MNG-1577 users can specify whatever
version they want at runtime. The block needs to be compiled with a 1.4
version of the component.
