Hi all, just after todays meeting on the IRC chat, we startet a discussion about upgrading Jenkins to Java 6. As Java 5 has reached EOL since quite a while, some core developers have asked whether it would be OK to bump Jenkins' runtime dependency from Java5 to Java6. The core is already build on Java6, but until now still backward compatible with Java5. Therefore we would like to know from you (Users) whether you have an issue with this upgrade. This would mean, that in the future you will have to have Java6 installed to run Jenkins (for Master and Slave).
Here are the current usage numbers (installations we know of): Java 1.5: 655 Java 1.6: 29164 Java 1.7: 2919 So please give us some feedback/votes on this. Domi
