There is your answer.
Jersey is an open source project and as such doesn't have the
resources and/or responsibilities as commercial products.
If someone really wants Java5 support, maybe there should be a paid
support model that would allow this via a paid contract. That's how
JavaSE support works after all.
Having hands tied due to legacy systems will only slow down the
innovation that made jersey/jaxrs popular in the first place.
