Spring Data JPA -- Java 6 required?

I just wanted to verify that Java 6 is indeed required for Spring Data JPA. Can you confirm that?

Thanks

It's not . What leads you to this assumption?

I read a paragraph out of context from this blog [http://blog.springsource.com/2011/04...nd-querydsl/]:

To cure that pain an open-source project called Querydsl has come up with a quite similar but also different approach. Just like the JPA Criteria API it uses a Java 6 annotation processor to generate meta-model objects but produces a much more approachable API.

Does the integration with Querydsl require Java 6 (maybe just for the compilation)?

Thanks
