------------------------------------------

I just tried to compile JBoss Logging for Java 5 and there was no problem at all. All that is needed it some configuration in the pom:
{code}
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.5</source>
                    <target>1.5</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
{code}

Seems simple enough to me. Of course the this needs to be combined with the replacement of _Arrays#copyOfRange_ in _Log_$logger_.

> The annotation processor adds the {{@java.lang.Override}} annotation to the methods of generated log or message bundle classes. For methods implementing interface methods this is allowed only in Java 6 and above, while in Java 5 {{@Override}} is only allowed for methods overriding methods from superclasses.
> Therefore compilation of the generated classes fails using Java 5. To address this issue, the annotation should be added conditionally based on the current source level.
