Re: [libvirt] [PATCH libvirt-java] Set source and target version to Java 1.6

The question is, do we (need to) care about 1.5?
As far as I know there are no support distributions which still ship
with 1.5
The platforms which ship with 1.6:
- RHEL 5 and 6
- Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04
RHEL 6 and Ubuntu 12.04 also support 1.7.
But since the code is 1.5 compliant I won't complain if we set target
and source to 1.5. Although I don't think there are any 1.5 users left
who use libvirt-java

AFAIK, the code is 1.5 compliant which would be "least common
denominator". So, there's no need raising the bar to 1.6 actually.
You are correct, I tried to set target and source to 1.5 and that
compiled flawlessly.
