err... do you know that (since 1.4 IIRC) the java compiler is the one written by Martin Odersky?

  Wasn't 1.5? Martin's work was related to generics, which got introduced in 1.5.

    It was 1.3, but the interesting features were disabled in production builds until 1.5, http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-0-preface3.html http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-0-prefa...
