[webbeans-dev] Java 6?

[Paul Bakker]

Hi,

I'm reading the mailinglist for a while, but this is my first mail. 
I think it's a bad idea to have Java 6 as a requirement. In the scenario of running an older (non JEE 6) app server that doesn't run on Java 6, it would still be possible to use Web Beans in a similar way you use it in Tomcat. This won't work if Java 6 is a requirement. Specially in combination with JSF 2.0, which can run on non JEE 6, non Java 6 servers, it makes sense to have the same requirements for Web Beans.

Hope it isn't too much trouble however...

Subject: [webbeans-dev] Java 6?

Hi all,

I want to gather some feedback on whether everyone is happy if we make
Java 6 a requirement for Web Beans. This will simplify the build
slightly.

JBoss 5.2 will require Java 6 (AFAIK), and I assume GlassFish will do
as well.

Anyone got strong opinions either way?

Pete
