-1 for requiring JDK 6
We are starting even new projects with JDK 5 (customer requirement - mostly
large financial or retail
companies). Given the speed of the JDK 1.4 JDK 5 migration they will stick
with JDK 5 (and IE 6) for at
least the next 3-4 years.
I don't like it either but thats just the way it is in the enterprise business

i cant believe that..java 6 is already out for years.. they are already at
update 17..
java 5 was sep 2004!
java 6 dec 2006
thats already 3 years ago..
I cant beleive that there are many still on java 5 they really should
upgrade because java 6 didnt maybe bring much api wise
but performance wise it was quite a good jump.
Besides that when wicket 1.5 will be released we will be i guess at least
half next year
then java 7 is almost there. (i think... java 7 is just a bit question mark)

shelved...
It'll be years until Java 1.6 is as common as 1.5 is now. There are many
organizations who have only just completed the move to 1.5. I think
going to a strict requirement for Java 1.6 would be a really bad idea,
especially since it does not offer as many significant new benefits as
1.5 did.
Offering 1.6-specific features in a separate jar would be a simple and
pretty good solution, I think. Stuff like the typesafe model would thus
be available for those who need it, without leaving anybody needlessly
stranded.
