I can understand that we all are keen to work with the latest and
greatest technology. Therefore, if we really needed a feature of a newer
JDK, I would certainly be +1.
Given the functionality we provide in [lang] and the JDK classes we use,
IMHO the minor differences between JDK 1.6 and 1.5 are currently not
relevant. So I see no compelling reason to exclude a user group (even if
it may be a minority).

Hello All:
This VOTE is to update the platform requirement for Commons Lang trunk to
Java 6 from Java 5.
The reasons are:
- Stop wasting time back porting code contributions from Java 6 to Java 5.
- Stop fixing erroneous commits that happened to use Java 6 methods.
- Stop using a dead version of Java for current development
- Use a current version of Java for current development in trunk
- Attract more developers and interest.
The current version of Lang is 3.1 and requires Java 5. If more Java 5-only
patches are needed, they will be performed on a branch.
This VOTE is open for at least 72 hours (March 1, 2012 at 16:20PM EST)
Thank you,
Gary
