I am not too sure about #2. In the ant build
file we had to deal with this issue for a while,
it may be as well to get other project 1.5 aware.
Also new projects would have to set things so
that 1.5 (and higher) would work.
Telling people to say "you must declare a java version" is no big deal;
its easily done. But there are a lot of projects out there that built
happily, and which now dont because gump upgraded.
Furthermore, what if we can't upgrade them all? There are old projects
out there that havent had a change for 12+ months, but which still work.
Its only that they dont compile on java1.5.
if we the properties ant._internal._javac.source and
ant._internal._javac.target that set the defaults for javac, then you
can also use them on the command line to build anything 'legacy',
without touching the build file.
