> Since Java 6 has been out for a long time, it's time to move to JDK 5.  We already require JDK 5 to compile (due to some MBean classes we are using), but JSPWiki 2.6 should also work on JDK 1.4.
> However, JDK 5 does give us quite a lot of advantages, programming-wise.  It makes loops nicer, and generics and annotations make life so much easier.
> This shift is targeted to 3.0. In theory, we could start moving to JDK 5 even earlier in 2.8, unless there's a large amount of opposition.  It's my understanding though that quite a few companies are still running JDK 1.4.
