That is an interesting thought. It would be nice to be able to take
advantage of generics, the enhanced for loop and autoboxing. But we

allow that.
Sounds really cool! I would love to be able to use Java 1.5. Have you
any experience from using retroweaver
(http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/)? It has BSD license so we should
be able to use it.
TBH, I don't like these kind of experiments. On the one hand it's mostly a gut
feeling, on the other as long as I don't have the absolute need for it (= I
can't solve a problem without it) I wouldn't use it.
