   Sorry for answering on such an old issue.
   The operator ^ is already used in java for bitwise xor. Example:

           assert (true ^ false) == true;
           assert (true ^ true) == false;
           assert (0b1111 ^ 0b0100) == 0b1011;

   For double and float this operator currently does not apply. Still adding this (besides the question whether this is doable) will lead to confusion, so I would not like having this.

   In python there is a different operator (**) that is used for exponentiation. Adding this to java might make sense, although I am not sure if this can be done by this plugin.

   I just checked the code - my first guess would be to add an operator to the map here
   

   java-oo/javac-oo-plugin/src/main/java/javaoo/OOMethods.java

   Line 36 in ea44e92

   put(">=", compareTo);

   and check if it "just works".
