--------------------------------------

Hi,

are you sure it is necessary to be able to compile with java 5? Java 6 may compile code that runs on java 5. In case of java 5 the methods coming from java 6 are not used at runtime...

I think it is good if Aries can be compiled only with java 6 but runs well on java 5.

Regards,
Balazs

> Right now:
> * util: BundleToClassLoaderAdapter needs java 6 libraries in order to compile
> * jndi: the ServiceRegistryContextTest class uses the Wrapper interface which isn't present in java 5
> * transaction: the java.sql.Connection interface introduced new methods using new classes in java 6 so ConnectionWrapper class can't be written to compile on both java 5 and java 6 libraries
