[kepler-dev] Kepler with JDK 1.6

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Anne,

For me, the gating issue for requiring JDK 1.6 is that Eclipse on
the Mac works well.  See
http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal/wiki/Main/Mac#Eclipse1_6
and then see the kepler-dev archives.  I believe that there
were some workarounds that involved running Eclipse on the
Mac under Java 1.5 and then selecting 1.6 for the runtime.
This is a hack, and a small bar to entry to getting going, so
I'm resistant to requiring 1.6 at this time.

The upcoming Ptolemy release will ship with JDK 1.5, but
will work under JDK 1.6.

The DBConnection class work is a great step towards supporting
JDK 1.6
