Hi devs, Basically JDK 5 is EOL and lots of libraries have been moving to JDK 6 and we cannot upgrade to them if we continue to support JDK 5. More detailed need: - be able to use last versions of JBoss projects: JGroups since 2.9, Infinispan (JBoss Cache 4), Hibernate since 4.0 when it will be ready, etc. - no need to bundle JSR223 api - integrated javadb (could be cleaner to replace hsqldb so that the ready to use package is smaller) - Java 5 support is deprecated since GWT 2.2 - be able to use Lucene 3>= - be able to use Jython 2.6>= See also http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5607 Here's my +1 to switch and my +1 to switch ASAP (ie. XE 3.2 since 3.1 is getting closer to Milestone 2 - Monday -).
