those who wanted to drop support for 1.4.
Why did this happen on m2eclipse-users list and not on maven-dev one ?
We did it here a long time ago, but we asked Eclipse users because
they are more effected by limitations of the platform. Go look in the
mailing archive, there was a long discussion on this list. In short
the impact to users of IDEs, especially Eclipse, has far more impact
then general command line usage. From what's been seen so far almost
everyone could survive on the CLI with 1.5, but when things in Eclipse/
WTP integration not working on older versions of the target platform
is a real nightmare so that's why we asked there, in addition to here.
If one dependendency now requires Java5,why still retrotranslate
others ?
Sorry, I don't GROK your question. There is only one retrotranslated
dependency: maven-artifact.

Thanks,
