Jukka Zitting updated TIKA-9:
-----------------------------

      Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
    Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Task)

I'm also not too tied to 1.4 as the baseline platform, but I'd prefer if we had 
some concrete benefits from Java 5 to outweight not supporting 1.4. The current 
use of generics is IMHO not too essential to the code, but if there are also 
other new features we'd like to use then I wouldn't mind dropping 1.4 support.

What classloading changes in Java 5 do you think would help us?

> Make source code compilable on Java 1.4 by removing Java 5 features such as 
> generics.

> These need to be removed so that the library is 1.4 compatible.
