I do not understand those people.
Do they develop their compilers on embedded devices?

You can use generics, enums, ... and still be compatible with java 1.4.
Please take a look at retroweaver - http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/
and reconsider 'foreseeable future'.

I've used retroweaver 1.1 back in 2005 successfully on a project with
thousands of classes (back then, I had to fix it and submitted a patch).
Now it's 2008, version 2.0.3 is out, it should be pretty good.
