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

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?
