Hi Sanjaya,
I'm sorry I can not understand what you are proposing ( Brain is not
functioning well in below 0C temps :) ).
You wanna move in to jdk 1.5, especially because of generics, but not
use jdk 1.5 specific methods? And making jdk 1.5 as the version for
compiling but have jdk 1.4 compatibility?
I appreciate if you can explain a bit more on this (Seems to be a good
idea, if it is doable).
