Description

Though Mahout requires JDK6, mahout-math's pom.xml contains plugin configuration which direct compile for Java5 as following:

     <plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
       <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
       <configuration>
         <source>1.5</source>
         <target>1.5</target>
       </configuration>
     </plugin>

Furthermore RandomWrapper and DistributionChecks uses String#getBytes(Charset) and Arrays#copyOf() method.
These methods are not supported in JDK5.
