Hi,

After some discussions with a user I was reminded of the issue that
there are some PowerPC based OSX systems that are locked into
OSX10.5.8 . They can't upgrade their OS and they can't upgrade to Java
1.6 because none of these are available for PowerPCs. While that is
not our fault, the question is if we should try to make BioJava
backwards compatible towards 1.5.

Anybody out there on such a system?

Any opinions on making BioJava java 1.5 backwards compatible again?
Essentially it means a global replace all "@Override" with ""

Andreas
