Will Glass-Husain commented on VELOCITY-521:
--------------------------------------------

Gump runs the package target?  I hadn't realized that.  I thought we only ran this for creating final distributions.  Thanks for catching this.

Does it really work to set target=1.4, source=1.4 and have the resulting jar work with JDK 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 no matter which JDK you compile with?

> build.xml target package forces to use exactly JDK 1.4.
> Would it not be better to build with target=1.4, source=1.4 and to simply check that the JDK version is >= 1.4
> I will attach a patch to this effect.
