I should do the build using a 1.5 JDK, so that the jar files will work
with either a 1.5 JRE or any later version. If you're asking about
what JRE to bundle with the package, I don't think it makes much
difference for the starjava software itself, but if you ship a 1.6
JRE it will be usable with external java classes that were built
using 1.6 as well as 1.5. I'm not aware of any good reason to ship
two different JREs.
