[rules-dev] Backport Drools 5 (with Fusion) to Java 1.4

Hello, I am interested in running Drools 5 (and especially Drools Fusion) on a available. Since Drools meanwhile requires J2SE 1.5 I thought about backporting it. But before I invest so much effort, I got two questions: 1) I have downloaded the sourcecode. At a first glance the only reason for requiering J2SE 1.5 is the extensive use of generics. In case I would remove all generics from the code, would it be possible to compile drools for a J2SE 1.4 VM runtime in general or are there other more hidden reasons for requiering J2SE 1.5? 2) I already meantioned I am planning to run drools on a >>somehow<< resourcen-constrained device. I explicitly used the term >>somehow<< because I am talking of a device with a 400 Mhz CPU and 256 MB RAM (some people might laugh about calling this resource-constrained). How about resource-consumption of drools? Has anyone run drools on a device with similar resources? Thanks in advance! Best Regards Thomas Frenken
