Re: Tuscany SDO compilation problems w/JDK 1.4

[kelvin goodson <ke...@gmail.com>]

Hi again,

  I'm updating the BUILDING.txt instruction document that goes out with the
source distribution,  and I need to make a decision on what I say about JDK
levels.  Given that no one has piped up to say that 1.4.0 is a must-have,
I'm going to say you need 1.4.2 at minumum.  Hope that's OK,  shout very
quickly if its not please.

Regards, Kelvin.
