Yes, my sincere apologies for not updating the docs for 1.3 (we have
in preparation for the 1.4 release).

No, we had to make a decision based on the resources we have and the
relationship to GlassFish which is SE 6 only, and that SE 5 is EOL'ed.
We were having to maintain some ugly hacks that complicated our build
system and made it harder to maintain, plus we wanted to use the minor
API tweaks that are available in SE 6.
