Java 1.4 support for Pydev

Well, it seems that having 5.0 code to compile to 1.4 classes is not possible in the Eclipse structure (I wish eclipse build gave me hint earlier about it, as I would not have spent so much time on that... but such is life, hum?)... details are on bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=105899

I did some googling after that, and it appears that altough eclipse does not support it, there is a project that claims it can be done (http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/), so, I'll check it later to see if it really does what it claims (especially within the huge infrastructure I need to have to do a single build with the eclipse tools).

So, shortly, java 1.4 may not be supported for some time...

Cheers,

Fabio
