[webbeans-dev] Java 6?

[Dan Allen]

Personally I think we should just forge ahead. The upgrade from Java 5 to 6
is not nearly as severe as it was from 1.4 to 5. Additionally, much of the
success of EJB 3.0, Seam and other modern frameworks can be attributed to
the use of new language features such as annotations and generics. If you
move forward, the users will too. When you hold back, you just condone the
resistence to upgrade.

Granted, I tend to be progressive, but my feeling is, why not put your best
foot forward?
