    What OS are you on? MacOSX?

    Unfortunately, since we developed Cayenne on 1.4, there is quiet a few
    dependencies on 1.4 new features, including logging, XML parsing, JDBC 3.0,
    GUI layout managers.

    It shouldn't be too hard to port the runtime back to 1.3 (replace logging
    with log4j, SAX parser with Xerces, etc.) We raise this issue every once in
    a while. It is being postponed due to the lack of time. Since we've already
    received a few requests like yours, this issue is raising in priority.

    I wouldn't promise a particular date for that to happen, but definitely
    need to start looking in this direction. Maybe we could even get volunteers
    to do it?

    Andrus
