We should switch to Java 5 for compilation and for the default release
(since the concurrent stuff is faster & more bug free on Java 5) but
maybe provide a retrotranslator version of the jars for those who
can't move JVM.
i.e. build on Java 5 only - but allow deployments on 1.4
I agree.. but I don't want to condition the switch to 1.5 on getting
the retrotranslator stuff working first. If we get the
retrotranslator stuff working.. well that should just be the gravy.
