You have a point but there are many shops out there (believe it or not) that
are running JVM 1.4 (I worked at one recently). They do not have the
time/money/resources/needs to upgrade. For Seam apps, 1.5 minimum is
obviously required. This is most likely about supporting as many
customers/users as possible. Our current Seam/EE5 project is running JVM
1.5. Thank god for annotations, varargs and generics, etc.
On the other hand, it would be nice to "force" shops to upgrade their
JRE/JDK to 1.6 as a pre-requisite for JBoss 6...

Why? Java 5 is end of life and not any longer supported.

On the money Arbi :-)
There aren't significant improvements *that we need as maintainers of Seam* in Java 6
- and certainly not ones that justify increasing the barriers to adoption. We aren't a
container, we need to run in as many places as possible.
JBoss AS 6 is a container, and has much more control over where it runs. It will require
Java 6.
