[undertow-dev] JDK6 Support

[Jason Greene]

Does the Jetty support only use the Core API (and not servlet)?

Part of the reason we dropped JDK6 support is because supporting it with servlet 3.1 would have required more work that was hard to justify. 3.1 is tied to JDK7 APIs, so we would have create a special hacked version for it to work.
