See http://markmail.org/message/hz3vick4gom3hliv for the thread where we decided to switch to Java 5 for PDFBox 1.0.0. The thread lists a number of valid reasons for the switch. > Please release the PDFBox changes as 1.4 compatible or our company and > others will be stuck on the Sourceforge 0.74 version and continue making > changes to it without contribution to the Apache version. You're welcome to submit a patch that restores compatibility with 1.4 and we'd be happy to open a maintenance branch for such work, but I doubt we'd want to switch the trunk back to 1.4.
