Well I can live with it although I dont see too much reason to target java6

structure that was it).
I think we should target java5 still in our core codebase to allow the
integration into jee5 based servlet runners.
Although JEE6 will come out in summer probably, JEE5 will be the defacto
they changed that date to September..
base for the years to come, since the migration from jee4 to jee5 happens as
we speak by now!
I doubt that much vendors will add additional support for JSF 2 in
their existing
JavaEE 5 environments
Well a not totally unimportant userbase is the one, who integrates the
jsf core into tomcat or other servlet runners.
Some of them if not many of them will be stuck on JDK5 for political
reasons. :-)
As much as I love to target the latest technology, I think for a core
framework we should be a tad more conservative, but as I said that
is just my 2c regarding the entire situation. Especially since
targetting JDK5 does not induce pain like it did with JDK4 when everyone
finally wanted to get up to JDK5 for various reasons regarding the
language extensions :-)
As I said just a personal opinion, nothing more!
