It seems that eclipse allows you to develop for a 1.5 JVM but target a 1.4 JVM for compatability - without the need for retroweaver.

That means we can use generics, foreach loops and static imports - but still make a 1.4JDK jar available. Has anyone used this, I propose if it works well we adopt this for our next major release. Further static imports simplify our ability to fully support the importing of "functions", but this would tie us to the JDT compiler - no Janino - however I think the advantages and simplification to our code base makes it worth while.
