Anyway the current XmlSchema build configured on Jenkins already uses Java 1.6. IIRC Java 1.5 is no longer supported by the Jenkins version we are using. Also, on some platforms such as Mac OS X, Java 1.5 is no longer available. Therefore, maintaining Java 1.5 compatibility would require some extra work (such as setting up Animal Sniffer) and we should drop it.
