As far as I know you can set source level to 1.5 and still compile for

I don't think it works this way?
compile.javac.target=1.4
compile.javac.source=1.5
compile-src:
[javac] javac: source release 1.5 requires target release 1.5
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.
First you would have to determine what is the platform currently in used by the
user base :) Only after that decision could be made.
Anyway, getting back on-topic, what is your vote on moving to 1.4? You can vote
one of 0 (don't care), +1 (yes), -1 (no, because: ...).

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.
