Does latest trunk require Java 1.6?

Surely this is not the case. But I am trying to start OfBiz using 1.5 and getting the following: 

2008-08-07 16:37:22,529 (main) [ GenericDelegator.java:217:INFO ] Delegator "default" initializing helper "localpostgres" for entity group "org.ofbiz". 
2008-08-07 16:37:22,538 (main) [ GenericDelegator.java:234:INFO ] Doing database check as requested in entityengine.xml with addMissing=true 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file 
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) 
at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:620) 
at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:124) 


I was running Java 6 on Ubuntu but it was causing Eclipse fits and crashing all the time. So I removed Java 6 and reinstalled 5. Now I can't get OfBiz to start. I can build with no errors, but when I try to start it gives me the above error.

I went back and looked at the postgres driver again and sure enough there is a difference. I was using a driver labeled JDBC4, which only works with jdk 1.6. I switched back to a jdbc3 driver and jdk 1.5 is working now.

I confirm it runs here with Sun jdk 1.5 (On Windows XpSp2 ands Ubuntu 8.04 LTW)

You could have extra class files cached from previous runs. Certainly
doesn't look like a postgres jar file problem specifically.

Catalina is the favourite for temporary class files so possibly try this
first:
  ant clean-catalina
and if you browse through the build.xml file you'll find a few others
that get run when using:
  ant clean-all
Be WARNED though "clean-all" is a little more aggressive in that it
clears the derby database folder along with lots of other runtime files.
Really puts you back to a clean checkout so make sure you've got your
data backed up if required, although it won't delete your postgres data :-)

I don't see anything on Postgres jdbc downloads that would make any difference. The latest driver just says it requires Java 1.4 or later.

yes I did ant clean. Even downloaded a new checkout from trunk after getting rid of Java 6. 

I think the postgres jar file is the more likely culprit. But I don't recall downloading a postgres jar file specific to Java 6. Going to look at postgres downloads now.
