From the above e-mail, it looks as if gcj will shortly be linking in ecj as its front end. With this, gcj will be able to handle 1.5 constructs. What do people think of now beginning the merge of the generics branch back on to HEAD? Given that both ecj and now gcj will support building this, we could limit our requirements to these. Recent CVS has already encountered problems building with older versions of gcj and jikes, and this change would also allow us to remove these hacks from our code.
