Hi,

I recently converted the Web Console code to use Generics and added the target 
jsr14 flag for the compiler to build Java 1.4 compatible class files. All fine 
and well.

until ... JDK 7 comes along ...

I just learned that the JDK 7 compiler does not support jsr14 compiled class 
files any longer and runs havock...

So, there are basically three options:

  (a) drop Java 1.4 support completely compiling to Java 5 class files
  (b) drop generics (and have Java 1.4 sources again)
  (c) have multiple build profiles

I would like to keep generics. They make a lot of things nicer. But then we 
alienate the embedded market ...

Where shall we go ? 

Regards
Felix
