That's a quote from the homepage of his site. I can also see he's using some of the improvements in the Swing UI that are only available in Java 6 (tray icon). It makes perfect sense to me if you want to use your framework on desktops or servers where you can simply use Sun's (or IBM's) Java 6 implementation. For embedded systems, it might not have been the best choice, although even in that field more and more CPU's are becoming Intel compatible and can run a full Java SE. ;)
