Hi Boris and Kirill,
I follow this thread closely. Please let me know if you change the list.

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. Boris Internal Virus Database is out of date.
