Yes, we just need a little Ant <replace> to weed out the offending

<String, ?>

in that one file.

Hibernate want to stay JDK 1.3 backward compatible, AFAIK.
Thus it has to be compilable with a good old JDK 1.3 :-)
We need to make the ant process tolerant.

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.
