> Cocoon 2.1.12 provides as option to use the JDK compiler for XSPs.  The Javac class calls internal APIs no longer available in recent Java versions.  Since Java 6 the standard API javax.tool.JavaCompiler is provided.
> Source code to compile with Java 5 and Java 6 would need to do indirect class loading calls.  Better to drop Java 5 support in Cocoon and declare 1.6 to be the minimum version,
