Description

The SCR 1.6.2 release will only support Java 5 and newer platforms.

To create a build to run on pre Java 5 platforms the following must be done:

• Setup the compiler to use the jsr14 target (keep java 5 source)
• add backport util 3.1 dependency and use that instead of Java 5 java.util classes
• set Animal Sniffer to check for Java 1.4 API
• recompile embedded OSGi API for Java 1.4
