I dug up an old email from the listserv about this topic and this was our recommendation (as communicated by Van): "For Mifos development the JDK 5.0 is our current minimum requirement. This means that development can be done with either JDK 5.0 or 6.0, but if using the JDK 6.0 be sure not to use any of the JDK 6.0 specific functionality. Building with the JDK 5.0 on the build server is the right way to enforce this (thanks for your comments Nazir)" Additionaly, Amit Levy made the following suggestion: " Note that if you are using eclipse (and possibly in other IDE's), and you have jdk5 installed as well as jdk6, you can configure an eclipse project (mifos... wink, wink) to use jdk5 as opposed to 6. This is probably the easiest way to make sure you're not using any new functionality" Hope that helps to clarify our recommendations around this area.
