OK. > If you use JDK1.4, the current default is 1.2. And it has been that way a month ago. > That brakes backward compatibility for all projects who target > JDK1.1. I'm not taking about JDK 1.4 breaking backwards compatibility - we both know it does in too many places to enumerate them - but backwards compatibility to Ant 1.4. If I don't care for JDK 1.1, I won't set the target option in Ant 1.4 and use the compiler's default value. If I do, I better set the target option instead of relying on Ant (which I can't if my users may be stuck with Ant 1.4 anyway). > Many projects _require_ 1.4 to be fully built, and all those will > not work with JDK1.1. If these projects want to be compatible to JDK 1.1, they should make that decision consciously and set the target attribute explicitly IMHO.
