Description

I would be nice, if CODI supports Java 1.5, e. g. to run with WebSphere 6.1.
It can be implemented with low effort.

There is one basic dependency to Java 1.6: java.util.ServiceLoader
To solve this problem, I've added a utility class in my local copy and delegate calls to ServiceLoader to this utility.

The utility class itself calls ServiceLoader, if the class is available (Java 1.6) or uses com.googlecode.bspi.ServiceLoader (Java 1.5).
So the application needs one new dependency (only in the case of Java 1.5).

The maven-compiler-plugin still generates Java 1.5 compatible byte code.
