[hibernate-dev] 3.6

[Steve Ebersole]

One item scheduled for 3.6 is dropping JDK 1.4 support.  Which leaves 
the question of whether to go 1.5 or 1.6.  I know 1.5 is within its EOL, 
but I dont think that should be the deciding factor.

Really I was more thinking of JDBC differences and (1) not having to 
maintain different JDBC 3 and JDBC 4 code and (2) leveraging some JDBC 4 
features.  TO me the big question comes down to what environments do we 
know that do not support JDK 1.6

Another option is to make the intermediate jump to 1.5 since I will not 
be making the changes that would require compile time dep on 1.6 in our 3.6.

But at any rate, I'd like to understand the environments which currently 
do not support 1.6.
