Retrotranslator supports all Java 5 language features and part of the Java 5 API on both J2SE 1.4 and J2SE 1.3. On older Java environments only the Java 5 features that don't depend on the new API are supported. Retrotranslator is based on the ASM bytecode manipulation framework and the backport of the Java 5.0 concurrency utilities (see http://backport-jsr166.sourceforge.net/ )

The Stripes Framework developers suggest to use Retrotranslator in order to use Stripes (which extensively use Java 1.5 features) on a Java 1.4 environment

gollark: It was trained on some large subset of the internet, and can apparently actually write code a bit.
