Actually it's the opposite problem: it was to stop it from being 
compiled by JDK5 as target 1.5 code, to avoid all the generics-related 
warnings that you otherwise encounter with non-generified code. See CRs 
5038934 and 5053732.

So I suggest that this needs to be left as -source 1.4

Cheers,
David
