the only thing you would not do is change you path.
that way those that depend on 1.5 will still work.
you would hard code the paths to 1.6 into the ofbiz stuff.

Hi Rob:
Thanks. I already upgraded my laptop (and some other servers) and found
a few problems. Most annoying was that GIMP didn't work anymore. I won't
bore you with the details on fixing that one but I use GIMP pretty
extensively to get screen shots etc. for my books. So, being without for
sometime really made me stop and think about upgrading my production
server. Who knows what other issues lurk out there.
Thanks much.
Ruth

Hi James:
I had an older MAC PowerPC G5 workstation running 10.4 that was
sitting around, so I decided to use it for http://www.myofbiz.com.
Works like a champ and I have the nice MAC user interface (and UNIX
command-line) to support all the system administrative things I need
to do.
Downside, I'd have to buy 10.5 to run Java 1.6. (Apple rolls its own
Java, I'm guessing from Sun sources). I already made the plunge for
my laptop and other systems, but it doesn't make a lot of sense right
now to upgrade the myofbiz.com server. Maybe when traffic picks up
and/or I have to move to a hosting center.
I too am wondering about the incompatibilities. That is one reason I
asked the question. Like I said, I haven't seen any Java shops using
1.6 in a big way. Maybe I'm just not in any of the right places :-)
Regards,
Ruth

I am curious as to what server OS you run that doesn't have a Java 6
SDK.
I'm also wondering which Java 6 incompatibilities cause problems with
OFBiz. NIO? Calendar durations? Bean eventHandlers? Forced
validation on
casts?
