Folks, When doing the dependency rework, it became clear that many of our binary dependencies are "stuck" without fixes or upgrades because we are still using jdk 1.5. I'd like to get a sense from the community whether everyone thinks we should abandon support for jdk1.5 in our next release. The "pros" of such a move include allowing us to upgrade to jetty 7 (which brings in a number of bug fixes), tomcat 7 components, and off-the-shelf hsqldb builds. I cannot at this time identify any obvious "cons". Please let me know your opinion. +1 to upgrade, from me.
Thanks, Karl
