We could change the build system so we can use java 1.6 source for jdk-1.5-parent modules too while preserving the jdk 1.5 compatibility.
The benefit would be to use for example @Override for interfaces too. That would give us more type safety.

After this change we would use jdk 1.6 for compilation and jdk 1.5 for tests. I think this is possible with 2 environment variables (pointing to the different jdk-s) and proper maven config.
This means that if this change is implemented anyone building wicketstuff on the command line will need 2 env variables to be set.

Opinions?
