I know there are still some application servers that use 1.3 and i use |
| 15 |
it alot to test with before i actually deploy to those servers. I know |
| 16 |
that there are some java apps that require the 1.3 to compile their |
| 17 |
source. i have been looking at doing the apache derby ebuild and that |
| 18 |
one require that you use 1.3 and 1.4 to build certain parts of it |
| 19 |
(http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html#How+to+build+Derby) so |
| 20 |
i think there still might be some need for 1.3. |
