I don't remember if EE 7 requires java 6 or 7. Unless there is a compelling reason, I'd rather BV be compatible with Java 6.

Hi, thanks, that's good to know. I think we still could aim for BV being Java 6 compatible, allowing to use it in plain SE 6 environments. The reason I was asking was that I recently stumbled upon j.v.Validation$DefaultValidationProviderResolver in the spec JAR. When we assume Java 6 as a minimum requirement, I think we could simplify the resolver class by leveraging java.util.ServiceLoader which was introduced with Java 6. --Gunnar 2012/5/29 Linda DeMichiel <linda.demichiel(a)oracle.com&gt;: > Hi all, > > Java EE 7 requires Java SE 7.
