[kepler-dev] validate-ptolemy and versions

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Sean,
Use Java 1.6.
The leadership team determined that this was a good idea, though
it will leave certain older Macs out of the build.

I think we failed to communicate this decision.

I just removed the @Override tags from DesignPatternImporter.

My personal policy is that I'm attempting to keep the Ptolemy II
core free of Java 1.6 code because Java 1.5 still has its uses.
However, I'm not opposed to Java 1.6 code going in to the Ptolemy II
core (kernel, util etc.).
