Thanks for the extra info, Roman.  I was going based on a snippet in the
XFire Migration Guide on the WIKI:

"The only other reason not to migrate to CXF that we see is a
requirement for Java 1.4. Although, we would encourage users to take a
look at using CXF on Java 1.4 via Retrotranslator."

Should that last sentence be removed then?

With retrotranslator you only solve language problems like

- generics
- annotations
- etc

But CXF also uses new classes introduced in Java5, existing classes got
new methods, etc. So the bigger problem is running CXF with a Java4
library. You could use a project like Apache Harmony to fill this gap.
But to make the result production ready is a lot of work.

Cheers,

Roman
