I am trying to use retroweaver to compile gradle, but since i am on a 1.4 jdk, other 1.5 classes in gradle's classpath (starting with slf4j after I retro-wove gradle) arent able to be used. I could take each one out and use retroweaver on them, but this would take a long time and I don't know anything about retroweaver anyway(yet, but I am very interested). Let me know if you figure out a jdk 1.4-compatible gradle distribution or if I can help out.
