Hi Manfred,

This was tracked in MPMD-182 in JIRA.
There were a bunch of changes that were needed for this, see
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1610933

I plan to make changes to our parents so that changing Java version is
as simple as overriding one or two properties.

Also, I added info on the front page of the plugin site that it requires Java 6.
