You can find my comments about this on my blog. A short one liner is that at the time we were integrating this, GlassFish V1 was fully tested and certified on JDK 5 and we did not want to introduce dependencies on JDK 6 as that had not yet run through our entire test suites. Also, given the short time frame for the release cycle - where JDK 6 packages and GlassFish were both trying to make it into the OS, we believed a reasonable approach was to depend on JDK 5. Subsequent releases should do away with this dependency.
Thanks
Harpreet
