Seems  silly to support 1.5 and not do it this way.

Sometimes a little silliness is some serious fun! Just give me a rubber nose, since I am just clowning around trying to build Andi's kewly contrib/db using gcj on the slightly stylish db-4.4.20 and je-3.0.12 . . .

Seems potentially a little strange to me. Does this mean Lucene would be
limited to the set of 1.5 features actually implemented by GCJ? So if
there is a 1.5 feature that is not supported by GCJ (while others are)
it cannot be used?

Seems more natural to support the complete 1.5 as defined by Sun/Java,
not the subset implemented by one open source compiler.

Do you have a different favorite open source java compiler for 1.5 ?
