Derik sent a note to kepler-dev a few weeks ago indicating the LT decision to move to requiring Java 1.6 in the upcoming releases. So I agree that is what we should do for the build and test environments, as some people will probably start using 1.6-specific language features.<div>

Hi Sean,<br>
Use Java 1.6.<br>
The leadership team determined that this was a good idea, though<br>
it will leave certain older Macs out of the build.<br>
<br>
I think we failed to communicate this decision.<br>
<br>
I just removed the @Override tags from DesignPatternImporter.<br>
<br>
My personal policy is that I'm attempting to keep the Ptolemy II<br>
core free of Java 1.6 code because Java 1.5 still has its uses.<br>
However, I'm not opposed to Java 1.6 code going in to the Ptolemy II<br>
core (kernel, util etc.).<br>

I've been setting up 'ant validate-ptolemy' as a cron job to be run periodically from a machine at UC Davis. During testing, it completed successfully and updated revision.txt. Unfortunately, it's<br>
come to my attention that while it all compiled with Java 1.6, it would not have done so under 1.5. The actual issue is very minor; in the class ptolemy.actor.gt.controller.DesignPatternImporter,<br>
@Override annotations are used for methods implementing an interface, rather than just for those overriding a concrete method.<br>
<br>
This does raise the question, though, of what exact environment (JDK version, OS, etc.) the canonical validate-ptolemy should be run under. It also might give us another push toward switching to Java<br>
1.6 entirely. Thoughts?<br>
