Somebody else mentioned retroweaver earlier on in this thread and it
might help you solve your problem using one of the following two
possible paths:

1) all the 1.5 methods from the library are converted by retroweaver.

You then just need to weave the classes and add the retroweaver runtime
to your classpath.

2) some methods are not supported (yet).

In the second case, you can still use retroweaver with the "verify"
option to get the list of all 1.5 methods from the library that are not
present in 1.4 or not supported by the retroweaver runtime. You can then
modify your code to make sure those methods are not called by your
application.

Another solution would be to send me some feedback about the missing
methods by filing a bug report for retroweaver on sourceforge and I
could add the missing features in a future retroweaver version.
