[webbeans-dev] Java 6?

[Reza Rahman]

Pete,

I think this is a very bad idea. From what I see in my customer base, 
most companies are very averse to JVM and application server upgrades 
and there are hardly any production JDK 6 deployments that I see right 
now. In fact, just a handful of customers have barely upgraded to JDK 
5/Java EE 5. I think the CDI RI should remain at the Java EE 5/JDK 5 
level. It would make CDI a much easier sell than telling customers they 
must upgrade to use it, especially in this economic climate.

Just my 2 cents...

Cheers,
Reza
