Bytecode weaver that enables you to take advantage of the new Java 1.5 language features, while still retaining total binary compatibility with 1.4 virtual machines.
Retroweaver operates by transforming Java class files compiled by a 1.5 compiler into version 1.4 class files which can then be run on any 1.4 virtual machine.
Retroweaver supports most 1.5 features while running on 1.4, including: generics, extended for loops, static imports, autoboxing/unboxing, varargs, enumerations, annotations.
