Hi,
Actually, unless Groovy 1.5 really needs Java 6 features (which I would
tend to doubt), the maintainer should compile the package with Java 1.5
or even 1.4, so that it works with all Javas.
As a side note, Java 1.4 is still state of the art on many non-x86
platforms.

Hello
Groovy now needs Java6 and else just prints invalid jar file format.
Isn't it possible to depend on a virtual package like java-virtual-machine-6
instead of java-virtual-machine to remind the user that java5 is
no longer state of the art?
