    I agree with the approach. Namely - officially schedule Java 5 switch
    to happen after 3.0M2 release. I wouldn't mind doing the actual merge
    of the modules myself.

    On the user end, we only had one user who needed JDK 1.4
    compatibility. What I realized now is that he was eyeing 3.0 (vs.
    2.0) is because their organization wanted to use annotations/POJO's
    down the road. Which implies Java 5. (Ok, I guess theoretically we
    can do pre-enhancement of POJO's via Ant and do not rely on
    instrumentation API - I guess I'll follow up on the user list).

    Also I don't think we need to re-vote. There is an official vote
    confirming the consensus that 3.0 final should be Java 5 only. I
    think we can iron out the details on the list without voting.
