I just did an Artifact Generation.

The generated classes use static imports, which does not work with JDK 1.4:

import static org.hibernate.criterion.Example.create;


I have to change it to:

import org.hibernate.criterion.Example;


.. .and change this:

.add( create(instance) )


... to this:

.add( Example.create(instance) )

... for things to compile.

I don't see any option to say that the target JDK is 1.4 during the artifact generation. Am I missing something ??
