Although I don't think there are any 1.5 users left > who use libvirt-java Since there're a whole slew of JVM implementations out there I feel a bit weary bumping it up to 1.6. On the other hand, it all depends on JNA, which JVMs they support with their JNI wrapper code. Looking at the ChangeLog of JNA (https://github.com/twall/jna/blob/master/CHANGES.md#features-1) I see that they have decided to switch to 1.6 (from 1.4) in version 4.0. Considering this, I'm all for pulling the plug and go for 1.6 in libvirt, too. So, ACK as is. I'll push your patch shortly (since I guess you don't have commit access, do you?)...
