If you use RetroWeaver it warns you if you've used any JDK-1.5 specific methods so there is no risk of you accidently breaking your backwards compatibility.

I am still against it.
If you start compiling agains 1.5 with the new features
Before you know it we start using 1.5 methods..
And i don't think we should target 1.5 just yest.
Not with 1.0 anyway After that we can look at it again.

necessary building tools, including JDK 1.5 -- it isn't really a big
deal. And if you're talking about end-users, well, if you use
RetroWeaver our code will run all the way back to JRE 1.2 assuming we
don't use any special methods.
Please everyone, read http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/ :)

Hmmm... dunno. Is it really worth the effort? It will make it generally
harder for people to build the project, as not everyone will have JDK1.5
installed.
You want this in 1.0?

if we are all nice and backwards compatible in a binary sense, it
might be nice to use generics in some places. in particular the
listenerset class i'm working on would be better implemented that way.
what do we think about generifying code and requiring 1.5 to build the
core?
