Is there any way to develop a Java 1.5 application using Cucumber-JVM?

Question

Cucumber-JVM has dependencies on Java 1.6

My client's application runs on Java 1.5 and this can't be changed at the moment

Does anyone know a way to use Cucumber-JVM to exercise my client's application?

I also posted this question on the Cukes mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/cukes) where I got a response from Aslak Hellesøy (CUcumber's creator):

Me: Is there any reasonable way to use Cucumber-JVM, built under Java 1.6, to develop a Java application that must run on JRE 1.5?

Aslak Hellesøy: Short answer: No. Long answer: Try it and share the problems you experience, then we can talk about whether it's possible to work around them.
