  • What can I do with Java 1.4?
    3 projects | /r/java | 11 Feb 2022
    I made one (Before realizing it'd already been done) to backport newer language features to Java 8 and it was pretty easy to bundle it up as a maven plugin. But going back all the way to 4 will be a notable increase in difficulty. Retrolambda goes to 1.5 but not all the way to 4. You could hypothetically add a layer on top of it to support 1.5 -> 1.4. That or roll a fork of it.
