I have to disagreee. AAMOF, java 1.5 is ONLY supported on a select number of plattforms, mainly the ones Sun provides the JDK for (or is licensed). Those are: Solaris / Sparc Linux / Intel Windows / Intel. OS X / PowerPC + Intel (licensed) *BSD / Intel (through emulation layers) There are some be specific IBM jdks (on IBM plattforms), but I have no experience with these. That's it. Anyone using any other plattforms (such as Linux / Sparc, etc.) has to use either the blackdown JDK ( stuck at 1.4 ), or different JVMs, such as Jikes, Kaffee, etc., ALL OF THEM stuck at 1.4 as well or not fully compatible (such as gcj). I have Linux / Sparc as a work machine, and have been looking for a way to run 1.5 code for quite a while... OpenJDK being the most promising solution (although still not working). But as said in my earlier mail, retrotranslator / retroweaver works very well, and I would not mind the extra overhead. I just saw that retroweaver has some additional support for verification against an older JDK, this should definitely be used.
