You can use the syntactical sugar of Java 5 (generics, foreach loop, etc) in your source code
and generate 1.4 bytecode using the jsr14 target:

javac -target jsr14 Java5Style.java

You just need to be sure that you are not relying on java 5 or Java 6 API
(StringBuilder, Scanner, Iterable, etc).

We are facing a problem. We want to use a couple of libraries that are
Java 5. It is working fine on OSX 10.4 and higher but not at all for
lower. I guess someone faced this problem before so I ask. Is there
anyone knowing a workaround to be able to run this on older Mac? A way
to get Java 5 on older Mac or a possibility to convert the libraries?

Best Regards
