+1 - as this is the next version of struts I think it makes sense to
make this move now. There is always webwork 2.2.2 for users that
require a JDK 1.4, which will allow for the majority of the framework
features and an easy stepping stone over to struts2.

There has been a lot of discussion on Java 5 support for Struts Action
2, and from my reading of the comments, we have settled on a path, but
I want to formalize it in a vote to ensure we are all on the same page.
I vote we develop Struts Action 2 with Java 5, taking advantage of it
where ever we can. At the same time, we should use Retroweaver to
build jars that will run in a 1.4 JVM. For those that aren't
familiar, Retroweaver supports conversion of an impressive amount of
Java 5 features and language changes. In summary, Retroweaver
supports [1]:
* generics
* extended for loops
* static imports
* autoboxing/unboxing
* varargs
* enumerations
* annotations
Therefore, our development philosophy will be to take _full_ advantage
of Java 5, but provide a working jar for Java 1.4, however, we can't
guarantee every Struts Action 2.0 feature will be available to Java
1.4 users.

I'll tally the votes after at least 72 hours and include the count in
our STATUS file. The vote is open to anyone.
