If I got Caolan's patch right, he suggests to compile as Java 1.5.
This seems to contradict out Java policy, which requires 1.3 compliance.
Is this correct so far?
</i>

The patch is to build the module as java 1.5 source *if, and only if, the
compiler is gcj*, it has no impact on anyone using sun java which remains as it
always did. I think that's the important bit, it doesn't affect the normal case.

I want to do this because, by default out of the box qadevOOo contains a file
which breaks the build for gcj users in a very obscure and nasty way. I *think*
the reason it breaks the build seems to be because there is ambiguity in the
java documentation wrt. PrinterAppend and friends as to how they are specified <
1.5 vs >= 1.5 and gcj feels that the exception specifications as documented for
< 1.5 are not internally consistent, while for 1.5 the situation is clear.

I can't see any danger wrt. compatibility issues as it doesn't actually raise
the bar to 1.5 for java, just makes it buildable if you're using gcj.
