As far as I know you can set source level to 1.5 and still compile for 1.4JVMs. All of the generics are backwards compatible. I have looked through the build.properties file and I don't think it would me more then a few changes to it and the build.xml.

I know I need Java 1.4 features immediately, so I want to make this switch right now for Xindice 1.2. Personally I'd like to avoid jumping to 1.5 without any released Xindice version in between, so I would suggest going to Java 1.5 in Xindice 1.3 time frame. However, if you ready to do the leg work, and if you have good arguments for doing this sooner, you can certainly start discussion about it.
