[VOTE][Result] Require Java SDK 5 (Java 1.5)

["David E. Jones" <jo...@hotwaxmedia.com>]

Looks like this was a popular item... here are the results:

+1 PMC - 3: David, Jacopo, Andrew
+1 commiters - 3: Scott Gray, Tim Ruppert, Jacques Le Roux
+1 contributors - 6: Anil Patel, Chris Howe, Vinay Agarwal, BJ  
Freeman, Joe Eckard, Marco Risaliti
+0 - 0
-1 - 0

The vote passed with the necessary 3 PMC +1 votes. Please note that  
we are working on adding more people to the PMC to help get higher  
PMC involvement with such votes in the future.

Thanks for the participation from everyone!

Based on this the policy going forward will be that OFBiz requires a  
Java SDK 5 (1.5) series JDK to run. Documentation and other changes  
will be made over time.

As for Java 6/1.6 we will test that over time and try to support it  
soon, but it will probably be quite a while before it is required,  
and for big requirements like that there will be another vote like this.

Is 1.5 slower to compile than 1.4 for others or is it just me?
