Change compiler options to use JDK 6 (aka 1.6), but to target for Java 5 (aka 1.5)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DNA-506
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-506
             Project: DNA
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Development Environment
    Affects Versions: 0.5
            Reporter: Randall Hauch
            Assignee: Randall Hauch
             Fix For: 0.6


Change the POM file to use the JDK 1.6 compiler for JBoss DNA, and change the Getting Started and Reference Guides to reflect this.  We can change the version that we use, yet keep the target set to 1.5 (for now) to ensure that JBoss DNA can be used in applications that use J2SE 5.0.

J2SE 5.0 (and JDK 5.0) is already in its end of life transition, and is slated for its end-of-life to be completed on October 30, 2009 [1].  Also, see the discussion on the forums regarding this change. [2]
