1.6 is fine if you increase the major number of the version (it might
break some things). Not sure if 2.4 is enough or if it needs to be 3.0

I tried to migrate our project, a struts 2 project, to Java7 and hit
surprising amounts of incompatibility with our open source dependencies.
For instance, our OSG dependencies were broken because they can't compile
under java7 due to their use of a javac flag, gone under java7, that allows

supported and required platform for at least 2-3 years from now on,
especially regarding the fact that 1.6 is not deprecated as long as you
are willing to pay fo
Dropping Java 1.5 seems reasonable for the 2.5 (aka 3.0) branch which is
intended to introduce breaking changes. I'm not in favor to do this for any
version < 2.5

options

Keep what you have in Struts 2. Struts 3 should require 1.7
