Converts the plugin to a real 1.4 plugin

I actually looked at the memoryview plugin to check which 1.5 features it uses and it turns out it does not really use any 1.5 features (it uses @Override and the clone() method uses the new "Overriding Return Types" feature. To become a real 1.5 plugin, a lot more has to be done (like uing generics for he collections). 

I think it accodentally haappened by using a 1.5 environment to develop the plugin. 

Therefore I created a new patch that makews it a real 1.4 plugin....
