Very sad from Sun...!!!
Just for fun I did a little searching and found a couple of tools
capable to weaving 1.5 bytecode into 1.4:
http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/
http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/
Never tried them so I have no idea about if and how they work.
But if they do (work) one can use them to produce an 1.4 version
for people still using it.
