Hmm... bummer. :-)How hard can it be to throw out all references to generics and insert the casts where necessary? :-) But you're right... at least in eclipse it complains if you put the source compliance level higher than the class file compliance level...

dont think you can compile java 5 source (with generics) to 1.4 you have to use something like retroweaver then On Mon, Mar 17, 2008 at 9:27 AM, Sebastiaan van Erk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hi, I was wondering to what extent it is possible to have generics added to 1.3 but have it compile to 1.4 if necessary? Isn't that a just a question of not using other Java 1.5 constructs such as enums and new JDK classes? Wouldn't that solve most people's problems that need to stick to Java 1.4?

Please use this discussion thread for voicing your opinion or asking questions. This makes counting the votes much easier. The discussion on our development list makes it clear that a lot of folks are anxious for generified models. Most users if not all wish us to release a quick release which is 1.3 + generics. The consequence is that the core team will stop to support 1.3, and that everybody that wishes updates will have to migrate to 1.4, and upgrade to Java 5. Why should we keep supporting 1.3 and JDK 1.4? Why only a generified release, and not a full release with more Java5 conversions?
