The best we can do I think is to identify the applications that should
work with GCJ (Ant and LibreOffice for example) and ensure their
dependencies are still compatible with the Java 5 API. But as Niels
stated it's impossible to keep the Java 5 compatibility everywhere (Java
9 will even be unable to generate Java 5 bytecode [1]).
