Normally I always recomment lagging a JRE version as well...
avoid bleeding edge...
JRE/JDK 6 has been around for almost two years now, so I don't think the
1.6.0_07 download is at all risky. On the other hand, the 1.6.0_10 release
really is bleeding edge. Sun's current versioning scheme does border on the
incomprehensible...

Time flies... damn.
You right its not really a TC server issue, the thing thats at the back of
my mind is that companies are lazy... and I havnt checked lately, but
hopefully Apple has sent out some scouts an discovered theres a new JDK ;)
In theory JDK 6 targeting 5 should be a safe bet, and on TC it is... but
Swing and stuff like that, build it targeting 6, and if then try move it
back to JRE 5... it hurts ;)
TC is almost immune, its a tough product... but what we find its that in the
IDE we have both JDK 5 and JDK 6 loaded... again not really a TC issue.
Sun really seem to be on a mission... for 10 years they were sleeping, but
now they moving at dizzy speed, your customers may not be.
