Hi, first off, sorry for cross posting on GeoTools and GeoServer devel, the topic is however of interest of both communities.
I'm wondering if times are finally mature to switch GeoTolols and GeoServer trunk to JDK 1.6 as the minimum requirement (just trunk though). The rationale being that J2EE 6 has been out a while, JDK 1.5 is end of life and hard to grab, and JDK 7 is going to be released shortly (July I think). Not switching 2.1.x series to JDK 6 will give people stuck on JDK 1.5 some 6-12 months more of support. Also, according to this, jdk 6 will reach its end of life next year already, meaning we will have only 1 year of that jdk in supported state before its end of life (assuming we switch soon): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html Opinions?
