Hello Rolf, As far as we are concerned in my company, we are still evaluating which Java version to support in our next product release. Some of our clients are still stuck on older appserver release which still requires Java 5 (eg WebSphere 6.1). But I would completely understand JDOM 2 to require Java 6, and this would simply be another good reason to provide support only starting from Java 6. Thank you for asking.
