Comment:
java 6/7

  
   * Code compatibility:
    * All code to be included in 3.X releases should be compatible with Java 5.
-   * All code to be included in trunk, from which 4.0 will be released, should be compatible with Java 6.
+   * All code to be included in 4.X releases should be compatible with Java 6.
+   * All code to be included in trunk, from which 5.0 will be released, should be compatible with Java 7. As most code is currently committed also to the 4.x branch it is a good idea to only use Java 6 code features (no diamond operators instead of full generics,...) unless explicitly needed.
   * All public classes and methods should have informative [[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html|Javadoc comments]].
   * Code should be formatted according to [[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/codeconv-138413.html|Sun's conventions]] with one exception:
    * indent two spaces per level, not four.
