Re: [mylyn-integrators] [mylyn-dev] JRE 1.5 to 1.6 ?

We have updated the minimum required execution environment to Java 1.6 for all Mylyn bundles in master as discussed on this bug:

 383907: change minimum required JRE to 1.6
 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383907

With the next weekly build Mylyn bundles will no longer load on Java 1.5.

Starting with Eclipse 4.2 the platform now also requires 1.6. Since
Mylyn isn't targeted at running on embedded devices where availability
of newer JDKs could be an issue I'm +1 for moving everything up to 1.6
which has been out for a long time.

Thanks for bringing that up. Can you file a bug to capture the discussion?
