But you can still use the 1.4 jre and the 1.5 jre in the same workspace on different projects.

You have to explicitly mention the JRE to use in the classpath (instead of it using the default). Problem is mine (on linux) might be called 'jre1.4' mine on OSX is called 'Java 1.4.2' and on windows its called 'my favorite jre'. So each computer would have to modify the .classpath file, thus causing problems during check in.

This is another argument for not having the eclipse files in the repo.

No, if you are just browsing the code or making occasional changes.

Yes, if you are actively developing.

This piece of code will be happily accepted under JDK 1.5 JRE with JDK 1.4 compiler settings:

StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder();

Is this really necessary? You can configure the compiler plugin to use the proper JDK. I have projects with mixed JDK versions no problem. I just
think setting up two different workspaces is more work than is really
necessary.

Btw, I'm +1 on dumping the environment variable. I haven't been using it
all for a while.
