[hibernate-dev] any specific reason left that keep hibernate away from building on jdk6?

[Strong Liu]

Okay, after the discussion with Steve on IRC, here is the update:

1. lots of intended contributors only has a JDK6, so with this change can simplify the process to contribute to hibernate and simple is good :) 
2. there is no known issue/bug that blocks hibernate be built on jdk6.
3. we must make sure the release build is on jdk5, or the artifacts will not run on jdk5, this is unacceptable 
( i will working on this to find a way to avoid this happens)
4. for hibernate commitors, we must make sure the code we check in keep 1.5 compatibility,  and we will explicitly set the java compile target and source to 1.5( of course for those components that do not need jdk6 jvm)
actually, there is no change for the commitors, you can still do what you're doing, nothing changed
5.  for hudson job, we need it builds hibernate trunk code on jdk1.5 and run the tests both on jdk1.5 and jdk6.
Juca, you will help me on this, right? :D

so, what do you guys think?
