Should Seam 1.3 (CVS) run on Java 6?

[avbentem]

I wonder if Seam 1.3 (currently only in CVS) is supposed to be able to run in Java 6?

If so, then I'll report issues I find (such as a "[SOAPFaultHelperJAXWS] SOAP request exception java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: setProperty must be overridden by all subclasses of SOAPMessage" that I seem to get in the SeamBay example in JDK 1.6, but not in 1.5).

I've seen few posts for older versions:

Building Seam CVS with ant build
The main problems that I have encountered are that JBoss unfortunately includes many JARs for packages that are now part of the Java 6 distribution.

SEAM INSTALLATION
Use JDK 5.0.

This is in fact a known issue in JBossWS (JBoss AS 4.2.0.GA ships with jbossws-1.2.1.GA). A comment at JBWS-1439 claims "The reason for this is the SAAJ classes being used in Sun JDK 1.6.0 are not compatible with JBossWS since they use their own SAAJ jar named jboss-saaj.jar".

So, apart from web services: should we report Java 6 specific errors for Seam 1.3 -- if one encounters one?

If its a known issue in JBossWS, there is absolutely no reason to report it as a seam issue.

Of course. And maybe I shouldn't ask before actually running into any Seam specific Java 6 issue (especially as I'll probably stick to Java 5 to avoid the JBossWS problems). But I just wondered if Seam 1.3 is supposed to run in Java 6.

Thanks,
