Hiram Chirino commented on ZOOKEEPER-532:
-----------------------------------------

Naturally all the features are not going to work on 1.5, for example JMX.  So tests will fail.
I'm not sure why you expected otherwise.

But the fact remains the the core server and client work just fine on 1.5.  I've been running them on 1.5 for a long time now.  If you want folks to rebuild your jars, you basically saying you want forks of the project floating around out there.  If that's the official position that's cool, but it just adds more work onto your downstream users since they now need to re-compile and redistribute.

> The jars released in 3.2.1 will not run on Java 1.5.  With a small build change, it is possible to generate jars that will run on Java 1.5.
