The answer to "should I be runinng 1.5 or 1.6" is yes. It doesn't really
matter, as both are supported. The only thing you have to watch out for
is moving to JDK 5 *after* starting with JDK 6 -- JDK 5 can't read the
class files generated by JDK 6 (and you'll get ClassFormatExceptions if
you try). If you start with JDK 5, then its not a problem. But in your
case, JDK 6 will handle both class file formats, and so whatever your
error is, it is likely elsewhere (unless for some reason you have an
application that used a private interface in JDK 5 that no longer exists
in JDK 6 or some othere error like that).
Also, JDK 6 has much better performance than JDK 5, so it is preferred
for that.
