  Substitutes JDK 1.5 classes for their mirrors. Out of the box, Retroweaver supports: all new language features and their associated runtime (autoboxing, generics, annotations, extended for loop, static import, varargs) java.util.concurrent TODO: full list of what is supported Additional runtime support can be added to Retroweaver by writing a mirror class and adding it to the class path. A mirror class can be one of two types: class or methods mirror. 1) Class mirror: Retroweaver replaces every single reference to the JDK 1.5 class directly with the mirror class. 2) Methods mirror: Retroweaver replaces calls to the JDK 1.5 class with static calls to the mirror class. Mirrors for instance calls are different from mirrors from static calls in that Retroweaver adds the JDK 1.5 object as the first parameter to the mirror. For example, a static call to java.lang.Integer.valueOf( int ) is replaced directly by net.sourceforge.retroweaver.runtime.java.lang.Integer_.valueOf( int ). However, an instance call to Class.getAnnotations() is replaced with a static call to net.sourceforge.retroweaver.runtime.java.lang.Class_.getAnnotations( Class ). Notice how the receiver (Class) is added as the first parameter to the mirror call. In order for Retroweaver to find your mirror classes, you must place them in Retroweaver's class path and register their mirror namespace. A mirror namespace defines the prefix of the package being replaced and the prefix of the package doing the replacing. For example, the namespace for the java.util.concurrent backport mirrors is "java.util.concurrent/edu.emory.mathcs.backport.java.util.concurrent". Retroweaver has a default mirror namespace "/net.sourceforge.retroweaver.runtime". As an example, java.lang.annotation.Annotation is replaced with net.sourceforge.retroweaver.runtime.java.lang.annotation.Annotation. In order to differentiate class mirrors from methods mirrors, a methods mirror must have exactly one trailing underscore in its class name: for example, net.sourceforge.retroweaver.runtime.java.lang.Class_
