If you use Ant for your compilation/builds, you specify the precise classpath (JAR's needed) when building your app. If you are missing any JARs, compilation errors will occur. You can keep pulling out JARs and testing their use by recompiling the application each time. This will not work, however, for JARs needed by the JARs that you include in your classpath. After doing the above, you'll need to test the application and check for ClassNotFoundExceptions, and then add in the needed JARs accordingly. > 1.

That doesn't necessarily follow, no more than you should automatically upgrade your computer operating system as soon as a newer version appears. > 1.

If JDK6 is coded correctly, however, it should be able to use most or all of the older JARs you need without difficulty. You'll have to do a lot of testing to make sure everything works, and if not, then go to each specific mailing list of each product that fails to see if solutions are available.
