Is it not too big a step to have jdk 1.5 compile AND runtime dependency on the core ? (sun's promise of jdk 1.4 compability generics did not hold as i've been told ;(
It is still possible to generate compile and run generics under 1.4 using the generics early access compiler.
ea2.2 generates 1.4 format class files by default, but that was too broken to use.
The current ea (version 2.4) is pretty solid, but it won't let you specify a target of 1.4 with a source level of 1.5.
Fortunately, 2.4 has a magic target, jsr14, which generate 1.4 format class with no problems. There are comments in the source code that say that this flag might go away in the future.

There's also retroweaver, which is a package someone has developed to convert 1.5 class files to 1.4 format. I haven't tried it, but it looks sound.
