In the near-term my main concern is that 1.5 only compatibility will prevent some from contributing to Mylar.  In the longer term yes, this tool should not be limited to the masses who are still stuck on 1.4.  Also, the fact that there is no 1.5-based free software stack bothers me.

 

Next week we’ll try to set up a 1.4 compatible retroweaver/backport build and document progress on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=104601.  Also, removing the 1.5 stuff from mylar.tasklist and mylar.bugzilla is not out of the question if that results in contribution to those components, but since that will be a pain we’ll wait to see what happens with Retroweaver.

  Mik, you've mentioned another day that you are using annotation to specify degree of interest. I think that it is not exactly an "Eclipse way" isn't it?

  Is there are any other Java5 features besides annotations that actually important for Mylar?

  Thanks
