Description

We should add a release note to make it clear that using a JVM prior to 1.6 will not work. The
language should be stronger than "is not supported" as I believe derby functionality will break in
unknown ways if version 10.11 is used with a JVM prior to 1.6. This is as expected and was
approved by community vote, just should make it very clear when 10.11 is released.

I am not sure exactly what the problems will be, but note that the derby tests already have failures
when run against ibm15, and have been disabled.
