    I use Java 1.4.2x for "real" work. Of course, the Dell I have with
    WebObjects 4.0.1 installed (you know, the one with the actual *real*
    software) has Java 1.1.6 installed ... I've never even tried to use
    Cayenne with that! :-)

    I'd be +1 for Cayenne < 1.2 being compatible with Java 1.3.x+ and
    Cayenne >= 1.2 being compatible with Java 1.4.x+. I'm not yet ready to
    commit to Java 1.5 (secretly hoping for a resurgence of Objective-C).

    Hi folks,

    This discussion started on cayenne-devel, but as Mike Kienenberger
    pointed out, this is of interest to all users, so I am transferring
    it here. So far the consensus was that Cayenne 1.1.x should maintain
    JDK 1.3 compatibility for as long as needed, while 1.2 should go JDK
    1.4 all the way.

    The decision has not been made yet. Any comments?
