I don't think that is the reason for the 1.4. But someone closer to
this SA project would need to clarify this.
The reason was so that the SA could potentially operate on an older
JDK as I recall.
I suspect 1.4 settings should have been changed to 1.5 in 1.6, and
maybe 1.6 in 1.7.
Sundar or Swamy might remember, but I'm pretty sure that SA was
deliberately not updated to use generics in the jdk5 time-frame because
the code was being used to get SA working with 1.4.2. Ancient history
now and a nice little project for someone to do some clean-up. In any
case, it's not good to compile with -source 1.4 without also setting
-bootclasspath to specify the corresponding platform classes so another
reason to re-visit this.
