Honest question: considering that Sun end-of-lifed Java 1.5 back in

Honest Answer: Just a few billion blue ray players, set top boxes and
multifunction network printers and any other device that run Java cdc.
Shall we go for a full use of JDK6 facilities, with a pre-processor to
create a (or multiple) minimal version?
We can prototype this with a ant/sed/awk script, We could strip the
@overrides, selectively include JDK6 dependend facilities, etc.
Really, i do sometimes miss something like the C preprocessor, in order
to postprocess for different deployment scenarios. A //#ifdef maybe?
