Can i run Forrest with Java 1.6?

[Markus Kramer <Ma...@web.de>]

Hello all,

It might be a misinterpreation of our README.txt
"A Java 1.4 or later compatible virtual machine
for your operating system."

Markus, please see the following issue. Is that the
problem that you encounter?

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-984
"validate-sitemap target fails relaxng validation
on some JDK 1.6: missing datatypes"

Where did you read that. I seem to recall that the 0.8 release was fully 
tested on java 1.5.

I use SVN head, before we recently changed Cocoon versions it ran fine 
on JDK 1.6. I'm not sure about the current head as it has a bug on 
Windows which is probably not related to JDK 1.6

However, Forrest does not *officially* support JDK 1.6 so your mileage 
may vary (there are some reports of problems in the archives)
