Hi, I just looked at the "nicer Javadoc" tutorial [1] mentioned by Marshall. They suggest to run releases with the actual minimum JDK version required by the project, e.g. a JDK 5 if the target version is 1.5.
I wonder what the policy for UIMA releases. UIMA still targets Java 5, but for example on recent OS X machines Java 5 is no longer available. So far I only set the source level in the POM of my projects and rely on the JDK doing the right thing - so far I had no complains. Do you consider this to be enough, or do we actually have to get hold of some Linux an install a JDK 5 there? Also, what about upgrading uimaj-core to Java 6? Afaik Java 5 is no longer officially maintained (at least by Oracle, no idea about IBM and others). TextMarker cannot be built with Java 5 (I tried it on Jenkins - doesn't work). The same goes for uimaFIT, although it might be possible to step that down to 5 again - I had the misconception that Spring 3.x was Java-6-only, but just read that it supports Java 5 as well.
