Hi,
Using the Sun 5.0 javac with the "jsr14" target it is possible to do a
complete compile of the Harmony Java source and successfully run the
tests on the existing VME. That means we could add in more contributions
that depended on 5.0 language features being understood instead of
letting them queue up.
So +1 from me for using the straightforward but undocumented "jsr14"
target as a purely temporary measure to keep things moving onwards.
Best regards,
George

I think that using Sun's javac and Eclipse with their undocumented and
unsupported options during the "transition period" seems the cleanest
strategy for both class library and VM maintenance. I see no trouble
having such a dependency for a limited period of time (a few months).

In the Eclipse JDT UI you *can* specify source=5.0 target=1.4 and I
successfully ran code written using generics on a 1.4 VM. However, the
Eclipse batch compiler does not allow this source=5.0 target=1.4
combination; and when I asked why the answer was that the UI usage is
wrong and will be fixed to prevent that combination.
LOL! How about suggesting that users find it useful right now?

It seems like we have two options - Sun and Eclipse, and because the
eclipse compiler is CDDL, and can be integrated into our build system,
we seem to be safe.
