Have you tried one of these?
I guess not because they won't work.

The only option left is the undocumented -target jsr14 which is not 
recommended.


One point which wasn't mentioned but seems more important to me the the 
EOL of Java 1.4 with the Release of Java 7:

http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html

"... The Java technology policy is to support the current shipping 
version of Java Standard Edition plus two back versions. ..."

Means at the time when Java 7 gets released only version 6 and version 5 
will be supported opening the door for upgrades to generics on a wider 
front.

I guess this policy will lead to more upgrades (by customers) than the 
technology enhancements alone.
