Java 5 and hibernate 4

Hi there,

Is it possible to use java5 with hibernate4 ?
I'm trying to compile hibernate with java 1.5.0_22 but i got errors on "org.hibernate.build.gradle.inject.InjectionAction" because it uses an "@Override" annotation against a method declared in an interface ("org.gradle.api.Action") which is not allowed in java5 (see here: http://dertompson.com/2008/01/25/override-specification-changes-in-java-6/).

It should be possible to compile hibernate 4 with java5 or it is unsupported ?
If it's supported can i skip this compilation unit ?

Thanks,

Hi,
no Hibernate 4 requires Java6.
Java6 is almost old now, and is a requirement for JDBC4, so it was time to move onward.
