Hi,

I also tested the whole artifacts, works with 1.5. I do not know if it
prevents us from releasing it, but I am the bad guy and started to use Java
1.4.2 to build and test. Core works perfect, and after removing all contribs
that use -target=1.5 the compilation still fails (there is also the problem
that the build script does not automatically detect your JVM and should
leave the 1.5 contribs unbuild. This would be possible, if we add a ANT
regexp into the contrib-crawl and exclude all contribs which build script
contains "1.5" if java<1.5):

- db/bdb fails to compile with 1.4 because of a ClassFormatError in one of
the bundled libs, so this contrib is in reality 1.5 only.
- Tests of contrib/misc use String.contains(), which is 1.5 only. As it just
searches for an whitespace, it can be replaced by indexOf(' ')>=0
- contrib/regex fails to build, because the JavaRegExpCapability defines an
(unused) constant based on the value in Pattern.LITERAL, which does not
exist in 1.4. Removing this constant fixes the problem.

What should we do?
