The reference to the vote is missing. Oracle ended the extended support for Java 5 a year ago and Java 6 is going to become EOL later this year: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
I'd say drop Java 5 support for the final 2.5.0 release. If that's unacceptable, drop it in 3.0.0 and make sure there will be a Java 5 compatible release of 2.5.0.
