Java for Business supports it for as long as people wants to pay (Thanks 
to Oracle for that one, I believe - something about some Bea product 
requiring 1.4).

The hard upgrade is from 1.4 to 5, and moving to generics.  Going from 5 
to 6 is getting a ton of functionality through annotations and built in 
functionality.

I generated a web service client for java 6 from a WSDL in a 26 kb jar.  
That's power.

PASE is just AIX with another name :)  WRKLNK to the rescue!
