The high complexity in our Java open source environment changes easy things to do, like migrating from java 1.5 to java 1.6, to a complex issue. These complexities need tools for collaborating in teams and in the Java community as a whole.

I'm curious to know some of the problems people see when upgrading -- I've needed to put a decent amount of work into continuing support of *old* JVMs, but normally I can slap in whatever JARs I find into any project with whatever current JVM, no matter how old they are, and they'll work with no problems.
The JREs are still largely backwards-compatible even to 1.0.2 code -- I imagine there are some exceptions, but I haven't hit them personally.

There seem to occur problems if you instantiate a class dynamically by a factory when the factory is compiled with java 1.5 while the instantiated class is compiled with java 1.6.
