Please don't top post. I already tried to explain that we don't |
| 21 |
necessarily need to make our jars work perfectly with older JDKs we only |
| 22 |
need the older bytecode so that we are able to compile things. If you |
| 23 |
really want backwards compatible jars just use *=sun-jdk-1.4 in |
| 24 |
jdk.conf. Should probably document this on the Java Guide. |
