Java 1.1 compatible?

["Sixten F. K. Otto 98" <Si...@Alum.Dartmouth.ORG>]

This is probably a FAQ, but since the FAQ seems pretty empty...

Is Slide 1.0M6 compatible with Java 1.1 (or rather, is it supposed to be)? Since
it is supposed to only require Servlet 2.2, I would have thought so. I did the
following:

- installed Tomcat 3.2.1 (all the examples work fine)
- unpacked Slide 1.0M6, and dropped the WAR files into Tomcat's webapps
directory
- started up Tomcat

And I got the following log output as it tried to bring up Slide:

That first exception shows that Slide is trying to use at least one of the
methods of java.util.Hashtable that only exists in Java 2. Is this intentional,
or a bug?

AFAIK, it should be. Until further notice, you can report as a bug any JDK
1.1 compatibility issue (preferably on slide-dev).
