Description

The Thrift Java compiler creates code that is not compliant with Java 5.

One issue is the @Override annotation on the clear() method.
The other issue is creating a IOException with a TException as a parameter in writeObject and readObject.

The attached patch creates a new option for the compiler, java5, which outputs java 5 compliant code.
