As a side note there are tools that can backport java 5 code to java 1.4.
Tools like Retrotranslator (http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/).

This is a vote to promote iBATIS 2.3.2 to General Availability. <br><br>One consequence of 2.3.2 is that it now requires Java 5.&nbsp; We&#39;ve added support for Enums and therefore we cannot compile it under 1.4.&nbsp; It&#39;s possible to make a 1.4 compatible branch of the framework, but that can be a separate issue.&nbsp; If you&#39;ve voting to promote this, then you&#39;re also voting to drop support for JDK 1.4 in the release.<br>

<br>I like this approach, because it also prepares people for iBATIS 3.0...which will be Java 5 only.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Clinton<br>
