JDK 1.4 support?

I have seen that SUN JDK 1.4 went out of support the past October 30, 
2008:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/eol.policy.html

Will Apache Derby still enforce JDK 1.4 support? Or it is time to move 
on?

It does at compile-time.

Admittedly I haven't tried setting jdk14.home to point to jdk6. :-)

Derby doesn't enforce JDK 1.4, Derby runs well with Java 5 and 6, too,
so apps are free to choose what Java platform level to run on. For the
time being, development of Derby still uses a JDK 1.4 source level,
this is correct. 

Thanks,
