Hi all
after the recent discussion, I'd like to propose the following:
* create a branch 1.9.x that we use for Java5 compatible maintenance
releases - with Jenkins Matrix Builds, of course.
* change the version number of the master branch to 1.10.0alpha
(-SNAPSHOT, whatever) and make Java8 t

I'd prefer moving to Java6, since there are still companies using Java6 or
Java7.Is Java8 really required to implement some of the new features?The more
JDK's we support, the more people can make use of Ant!
However, since I'm not that active in the Ant development, I won't block the
vote for t
As a heavy Ant user, faced with my own "minimum supported Java version"
headaches,
I'm +1 on this.

I don't mind which version we go with, but I would like to see the main Ant home
page be clear about which Ant version to use, based on installed Java version.
Could we have a compatibility matrix or something equivalent, on the main page?
Something that takes into account the TL;DR crowd :)
