Bug Description
Currently, Play compiles code to JDK 1.5. This means that Java 6 features like @Override for interface method implementations cannot be used, nor can libraries that use these features be used.
If the source and target flags for javac could be configured that would be very helpful. I am not familiar with the internals or design philosophy of Play's implementation, but a command line option for 'play run/start' seems like a decent place for this feature.
