+0 I don't really see why we need to force the use of JDK 6 unless there are features for that specific JDK that we want to introduce in trinidad. We still have some servers in our institution using JDK 5 (and with apps using trinidad) and although we are updating everything we are not there yet.
In any case, I develop already with JDK 6, but I compile the apps with JDK 5 for those servers. Even if most users use JDK 6 and it is difficult to get the JDK 5, what should we drop support for the JDK 5 if we don't use any specific feature of JDK 6? Or are we planning to use them? The only problem now is that we have to be aware of using JDK 5 when deploying to the public repos or doing distributions, right?
