I'll say +0 for now. I'd like to see an "amendment" discussing how we would seperate out 1.5 specific code and what rules we would use to determine what is allowed in the project and what would be allowed in an tiger extention project, so we wouldn't have to discuss that point every time a new feature is suggested to be added that depends on 1.5.
The way we use the GenericsObjectTypeDeterminer seems overall a good way to go to me, where there is a DefaultObjectTypeDeterminer and if the Generics class exists, then use that...

This would give Java 1.4 users mostly the same capabilities. Don Alexandru Popescu wrote: > This looks quite nice. I cannot figure out what means support for > annotations.
