Although I understand that Java SE 5 has reached end-of-life status,

there are features in Java SE 6 that are needed by Mojarra, my vote would be
to compile with Java SE 5.
Believe it or not, there are Fortune 500 companies that are still
version-locked on Java 1.4.
IMHO it would hinder adoption to require a Java 6 JRE for Mojarra 2.1.
I would usually agree with this statement, but I think that any company
that's actually willing to use Mojarra 2.1 will have upgraded to Java EE 6.
My "conservative" clients are just upgrading to Java EE 5 and JSF 1.2, and
they're willing to use JDK 1.6.

In order to bring the testing matrix for Mojarra more in line with
Oracle's current engineering investment, we are planning to have
all future Mojarra builds that are targeting the upcoming JSF 2.1
specification only support JavaSE 6 and beyond. Any 2.0.X and 1.2 builds
will still continue to be built with Java SE 5.
If you have any comments about this decision, please let me know here.
