| <p>Apache ActiveMQ 5.x or later is developed to run on Java 5 or later to take advantage of the new language features together with the major fact that on Java 5 the new concurrency code is faster & less buggy and requires less dependencies.</p> |
| |
| <p>We may get around to creating a sepate distro of retrotranslated jars for 1.4 <a shape="rect" href="contributing.xml">particularly if someone helps</a>.</p> |
| |
| <p>Until then you can just <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://retrotranslator.sourceforge.net/#jit" rel="nofollow">install the retrotranslator JIT in your JVM</a> which will auto-swizzle all Java 5 bytecode to be complaint Java 1.4 bytecode using backport-util-concurrent instead of Java 5 concurrency code.</p> |
