JDK 1.3 still required?

[Jeroen Reijn <j....@onehippo.com>]

Hi all,

I was just trying the maven1 jar script for 2.1.11, when I noticed that 
it did not compile with JDK 1.3. I can remember having a vote[1] on 
this, which I think ended in lets move on after 2.1.10 to 2.2.

Everybody knows that 2.1.11 was released in the meantime and since I 
want to make 2.1.11 available from the maven 1 repositories it would be 
nice to see what other people think about this? Should we revote on 
this, can i compile them with JDK 1.4 or should I take a look at the 
problems, try fix them and then release the jars?

I think we should revote, and if anyone needs JDK 1.3 compatibility
for 2.1.11 they should be prepared to do the work of "porting" and
testing.
