Hi, I think the discussion is about the jEdit core, not about plugins. Regarding CtagsInterface, as far as I remember all the 1.6 specific code is in the plugin's tooltip class, which can be eliminated completely by removing the 'show tag tooltips' option in the plugin option pane. But in general, I do not intend to waste time for java 1.5 compatibility. I'd replace String.isEmpty() by the 1.5 equivalent, but wouldn't do anything to work around SwingWorker (btw, the interface and implementation in 1.6 is different than the libraries that provided this in 1.5).
