You are supposed to change eventually!
What is Tika's reason to stick with JDK5?
I think the most recent discussion on it was: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Hudson-build-is-unstable-Tika-trunk-394-td1818975.html
ODFDOM's reason to use JDK 6 is its need for the ODF package encryption & signature feature and even JDK 7 comes along with improved ZIP access of NIO2, therefore I will from my current point of view I will vote to switch to JDK in July 2012 when JDK 6 is EOL.
If you have a reason to change, then you can, I was just suggesting that you consider a major version bump along with it to make it clear to everyone
POI switched to needing JDK 5 back in 2009, and we still sometimes get people asking about letting it run on JDK 1.4!
