[webbeans-dev] Java 6?

[Benjamin Graf]

Hi all together,

has anyone consider Java5 EOL yet? Just two month till support is running 
out (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp). I think 
personally think that there is no reason to longer support Java5. 
Especially since WebBeans is a JEE6 technology which works best in an 
environment which partly needs Java6 as base! Anyone has information about 
Java6 adoption in the wild! :-)
