Hi! If you are looking for a tool to support annotations and generics on Java 1.4 you might want to evaluate Retrotranslator (http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net). It supports most Java 5 features on J2SE 1.4, e.g. it can run JAXB 2 that makes heavy use of reflection on generics and annotations. I am the author of Retrotranslator.
This would indeed be interesting. A very quick feasibility test would be to use Retrotranslator on all the Shale JAR files (including shale-tiger.jar), and then see if the shale-sql-browser application actually runs on a JDK 1.4system. Anyone up for doing some experiments and reporting back? Craig Taras
