[jira] Commented: (SHALE-285) Test whether shale-tiger can be postprocessed for use on JDK 1.4 systems

    [ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-285?page=comments#action_38236 ] 
            
James Mitchell commented on SHALE-285:
--------------------------------------

Craig, do we have a preferred technique for this? ( Maven vs Command line)
With Ted's help, I added the 1.5 -> 1.4 backport to the nightly build for s2 a while ago:
  http://people.apache.org/builds/struts/nightlies/2.0.x/java-1.4/

It's pretty trivial and I can help with that if we go with a command line approach first.  My assumption (like with s2) is that we eventually move this process to handled by the Maven plugin.

> Several Apache projects have started using postprocessors like RetroWeaver and RetroTranslater to take code that uses Java SE 5 syntax and semantics (including annotations) and make it work on a JDK 1.4 JVM.  Analyze whether this approach will work for shale-tiger (and applications built with it), and (if so) decide whether to release it as a supported feature (or perhaps as a sandbox feature).
