java 1.4 versus 1.5

Java 1.5 has been out for a couple of years now and has some
nice 
improvements in the libraries. In particular, I wish I had
access to 
the timeout settings on UrlConnections. Would anyone object
if starting 
with the 0.3 release this week, we required java 1.5 to
compile and run 
Hadoop?

Do it; java 1.5 has much better profilability too.
