Plugins and JVM version
Hi,
While looking at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4089
one of the problems I discovered was that all of our plugins require
Java 1.5 at runtime (geronimo-plugin.xml has
<jvm-version>1.5</jvm-version> entry). So even assuming we built
Geronimo with Java 1.5 but we are running with 1.6, none of the
plugins will install. So the question is, should the
geronimo-plugin.xml specify both Java versions or should it not list
any version at all? Same issue applies to the sample plugins.

jvm-version should probably be allowed to contain some range expression.

I don't know why we specify the Java version for plugins. When already
have some restrictions on the level of Java specified in the server
itself ... so it seems redundant and unnecessary to call it out in the
plugins in general. We could special case this dependency if there is
ever a need for a specific java version by a plugin when the server
supports multiple versions.

Seems that we should allow 1.5+

FYI, for now I added <jvm-version>1.6</jvm-version> entry to allow
plugins to be installed on servers running on Java 6.
