[antlr-interest] How about migrating java generated code to java 5

Better for whom?.

Certainly not for those who need to support JDK1.2/1.3/1.4.

It would but, I won't labour the point since ANTLR3's architecture
simplifies the development of code generators. Supporting all the different
JDKs (and any new ones) is significantly easier. 

I'm looking forward to your Prashant_JDK_5_only codegen...  ;-)
