My opinion is to go J6 with a J5 optional package. That way users can get as much as we can give them out of the box and if they really must only use J5 they can still do so.
We'll also have to make sure we don't use String.isEmpty :).

The real question is whether we want to continue targeting Java 5 and exclude the Java 6 stuff by default or vice versa? I'll go see if google can tell me about the lifespan of Java 5. -Wes -- Wes Wannemacher Head Engineer, WanTii, Inc. Need Training? Struts, Spring, Maven, Tomcat...
