I think it would be wise to allow Karl-Heinz to continue with his
excellent work on unifying the Maven core dependencies of many of our
plugins. That will make them consistent in requiring Maven 2.2.1 (and
Java 5).
When this work is done I think it is a good time to change the
${javaVersion} property in the Maven parent POM, and say that all
future release from the Apache Maven project will require Java 6. That
would be across the board, core, shared components, plugins,
everything.
