Ann: Retroweaver - Run 1.5 class files in a 1.4 VM

Question

Hi folks,
I've just posted the first release candidate of a free, open-source program that lets you run your 1.5 class files in a 1.4 VM. You can check it out at http://retroweaver.sf.net. Please give it a spin and let me know what you think.
God bless,

Answer 1

I've just released 1.0 RC4, which adds support for java.lang.Iterable, and the enum language construct.
You have to be somewhat careful with Iterable, because code like this works:Iterable<Integer> it = new Iterable<Integer>() {
  public Iterator<Integer> iterator() {
    return Arrays.asList( new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3 } ).iterator();
};and code like this, fails:Iterable<Integer> it = Arrays.asList( new Integer[] { 1, 2, 3 } );The problem is that I can't just modify the collection classes to implement my own Iterable_ interface.
God bless,
