Update installation requirements from Java 5?
Greetings dev,
The root cause of
CONTINUUM-2712<https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/CONTINUUM-2712>,
is not clear at the moment, but when responding to it I couldn't help but
wonder if we might want to update the installation instructions on the web
site to suggest using Java 6 or later.
If it turns out to be caused by a dependency continuum uses that is built
with Java 6 or later, I am even more inclined to remove references to using
Java 5. It is at end-of-life and will only become more common moving
forward.

That just makes too much sense. Sounds good.

I fixed the issue since it was easy to do. I think we can reasonably continue Java 5 support for Continuum 1.4.x, with the caveat that the standalone install comes with Jetty 8, which requires Java 6.
For working on Continuum 1.5 or above, I'd certainly be happy for anyone to bump the minimum requirement to either Java 6 or 7, depending on what they need.

I agree with the removal of 5.. I think we might even want to start
suggesting 7... 8 is at full feature with GA due in the spring.
I know I have been facing J7 issues with other products - so I don't see
any reason to hold back if any of the dependencies have already started to
move up.
