[Richard Holland]

If you can find a way to make Maven do that, then I'm happy for you to make
the relevant changes.

cheers,
Richard

> Major changes included in Java 6:
>
>    * Support for older Win9x versions dropped. The last version for Windows
> 98 and Windows ME is Java Runtime Environment Version 5.0 Update 16 (
> 1.5.0.16).
>    * Scripting Language Support (JSR 223): Generic API for tight
> integration with scripting languages, and built-in Mozilla Javascript Rhino
> integration
>    * Dramatic performance improvements for the core platform, and Swing.
>    * Improved Web Service support through JAX-WS (JSR 224)
>    * JDBC 4.0 support (JSR 221).
>    * Java Compiler API (JSR 199): an API allowing a Java program to select
> and invoke a Java Compiler programmatically.
>    * Upgrade of JAXB to version 2.0: Including integration of a StAX
> parser.
>    * Support for pluggable annotations (JSR 269).
>    * Many GUI improvements, such as integration of SwingWorker in the API,
> table sorting and filtering, and true Swing double-buffering (eliminating
> the gray-area effect).
>
> Perhaps the core module can be linked to the 1.5 version. And if someone
> needs, for example, the improvements of the GUI for his module, this module
> will be linked to another version.
