If that's the case, and all the BREEs in GEF's manifest.mf files are set correctly to 1.4, then I can stop worrying about things like bug 271553 and start running GEF w/ JVM 5.0.

Please close this when you are satisifed that GEF can be run on 5.0 and still be 1.4 compliant.

I should qualify that "running GEF w/ JVM 5.0" and "run on 5.0" means "run the *build* using a 5.0 JVM". I'm not talking about end-user runtime.

If all bundles specify BREEs, and the builder defines the appropriate properties for each needed environment (ie the J2SE-1.4, J2SE-1.5, JavaSE-1.6, etc) which point to appropriate class libraries to compile against for each environment;  Then the build itself can run on whatever vm you wish and each bundle is compiled independently against the proper libraries.  (This has been around since 3.3 I think).

All GEF projects have:
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: J2SE-1.4

I added this to org.eclipse.draw2d.doc.isv and org.eclipse.gef.doc.isv, which were the only two missing.
