Hi all,

ATM I do not see a runtime reason for Java 6 but I have not looked for
one really.

I do see a development time reason in the value of @Override. I do see
 run time and dev time reasons as both drivers for adopting a newer
JDK.

.3?  If that is a necessity than I am OK with upgrading to Java 6 for the t=
arget. IOW, I'm not in favor of upgrading just because "Java 5 is dead" but=
 because we actually have a requirement to do it.
