I've created http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-2551 and some subtasks. Anyone here should feel free to take those on and get the changes made, the help would be appreciated.

How do people feel about JDK support and uPortal?Sun has dropped support for JDK 5 back in October. We have the next major release of uPortal, 3.2, coming out as a release candidate shortly. Recently a bug was introduced by some code that only built with JDK 6.Is it worth considering only supporting JDK 6 with uPortal 3.2? With some caveat, that it *might* run on JDK 5, but developers are not committed to compiling/running/testing against JDK 5.If we do NOT consider the above.... then we need to know what we're telling ourselves. To avoid the issue that Adam introduced, we must actually USE JDK 5, to build against, because just using JDK 6 in "compile for java 5" mode, doesn't eliminate the prossibility of being compile time dependent on a JDK class difference.My personal preference would be to no longer officially support JDK 5, now that Sun is no longer officially supporting it.---- Cris J H
