Well, so this raises an interesting question. Right now our code base will compile with either JDK 1.4 or 1.3 but you don't get the same thing when you do this. Will a JDK 1.4 build run cleanly on JDK 1.3? I would suspect not since the JGVTComponent will try and register a scroll wheel event handler which doesn't exist in JDK 1.3. This is fine for development/source dist since the build tools figure this all out for us, but what about when we go to make a binary distribution? I think it would be fairly ugly to have two binary distributions (one for JDK 1.3, and one for JDK 1.4+). Is that commonly done? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
