Hi Howard. There has been some talk on the user list about Retroweaver. http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/documentation.html
If it's just new language features such as annotations and generics that you want from 1.5 then it may be possible to still support 1.4. (I've quoted Mind Bridge's post about it below.) Still, for some limitations and caveats, this is a good short read: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kirillcool/archive/2005/07/porting_small_l.html Cheers, Nick.
