Hi,
just for the record, obviously nobody saw my copy&paste fault within the release
notes. It starts with the wrong version ....
I've fixed that when sending the announce mails but I guess I can't change that
within the release artifacts as the release is already out. Fortunately it
doesn't have any influence on the functionality of PDFBox ;-)

So retroweaver or retrotranslator then, bytecode manipulation.
Many commercial software companies take the realistic view of a 1.3 or 1.4 codebase compiled to 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6. The reality is many large corporate shops are tied to older versions of the JDK, even though you may not understand or be a part of that world it is still fact.

I don't like discussions about useful and non-useful versions of the JDK, but 1.4.2?
Are you serious? That's not just old, it's ancient?
To answer your questions, I'm not aware of any backport.
Just for your interest, PDFBox 2.0.0 will rely on JDK 1.6.0 as minumum java version.
