+1 to requiring Java SE 6 for builds and runtime.

Per the discussion with OPENJPA-5 [1], the question of continuing support of building with Java 5 has been brought up. Due to the annotation processing that will be required for JPA 2.0, the use of Java 6 will become a requirement for trunk. But, do we have to continue to support building with Java 5. Pinaki has recently committed changes to allow building with either Java 5 or Java 6, but these changes will affect our code path as it relates to connection processing. So, should we bite the bullet and pull the plug on Java 5 from a build perspective? This would be for trunk (JPA 2.0) only and beyond. Comments, suggestions, complaints are all welcome.
