You are right - we may want to take this off list or discuss it in the
issue tracker over at http://kenai.com/projects/trident.
There is one more thing at this level though - your code currently requires
Java 6, and we would like e4 to be usable on 1.5 VMs as well. I went
through the code (the core and SWT parts), and the only 1.6 feature you are
using is the ability to annotate methods with @Override when they are just
implementing a method from an interface. Would you be able to produce a
version of Trident (just the core and SWT parts) without these annotations?
More importantly, would you be able to promise, going forward, that you
won't introduce dependencies on anything that is only available in the 1.6
class libraries, from the core and SWT parts? Obviously, at some point in
the future, requiring 1.6 instead of 1.5 may make sense for e4, but we're
not there yet.
