Android wants the 1.5 JDK; it's incompatible with Java 1.6.

That gets to be a really annoying problem, because there is lots of
software that wants to suck Java 1.6 in as a dependency.

I haven't actually tried it, but it ought to be possible to install
both Java 1.5 and Java 1.6, then set up some environment variables so
that Android only sees 1.5 while everything else sees 1.6.

Android is also incompatible with every version of gcj, the GNU Java compiler.

Best,

Don Quixote
