For now, the source is staying 1.4-compliant. Being a library, I try to keep its requirements as low as possible, which for RSTA is 1.4 (we use Java's regex support, otherwise we probably could go lower). I do understand that Java 1.4 is absolutely ancient, and I'll eventually move the minimum JRE to 1.5, and update the code to use generics, annotations, etc., but it won't be any time soon.
