OK then, a question to all of you...

What new features in Java6 do we start using when developing ArgoUML? Is it
feasable to hold this (for another 2 years or so) while the last of the old
32 bits Macs are phased out?

Note that we could still build the Windows and tar releases with Java6 as
long as we build specific Mac 32-bit releases using Java5 but that would
complicate the build process a little.
