Hi Jason,

Advanced mode is an option of Retrotranslator. From the Retrotranslator 
homepage[1]:

-advanced       Whether to use alternative implementations of Java 1.4 classes 
and methods for better Java 5 compatibility.

If you look at the table entitled "What Java 5 classes and methods are 
supported?", on the Retrotranslator homepage, some JDK1.5 classes have the (3) 
note beside their name or method name's. This means that they are supported 
only in advanced mode, i.e. when the advanced option is specified.

They include Threadlocal's remove() method, BigDecimal's setScale() method, or 
some DecimalFormat methods.

The Ant task supports the advanced mode by using an "advanced" attribute. This 
mode is off by default.

It would be great to be able to specify <advanced>true</advanced> in the 
configuration of the Maven plugin, while keeping the initial false value by 
default.

Cheers,

Sébastien
