[MICHAEL.OBRIEN@xxxxxxxxxx]

Eric,
	This sounds good, I have been running on JDK 1.6.0_04 (targetting 1.5) locally for the last 3 months no problem since the change to add the compiler version tag [javac.version=1.5 (default)] was added to 1.0M9 on June 9th in REV 17631
	see
	http://bugs.eclipse.org/214261
	and
	https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=104114&action=diff

	thank you
	/michael

Hello all,

Since no one responded to to this email earlier, it seems that nobody 
cares about a compiler change
from JDK 1.5 to Jdk 1.6 (specifying a targeted vm of 1.5). However, I 
wanted to give fair warning anyway.

I currently testing out this change, and am planning on making it 
permanent next Wednesday (8/24).
This change will impact all branches nightly and continuous builds, but 
Eclipse based builds not at all.

If you have any concerns let me know.

-Eric
