I see two possible solutions.
1. Isn't there a Collections API available for jdk1.1 which could
be used by Castor so it can use Collections even if j2 isn't
available?
2. Tomcat 3.x does the following.
It requires duplicate classes and a wrapper which instantiates
the appropriate class at runtime based on whether jdk1.x or j2
is available. And the build detects whether j2 is available and
only compiles the j2 dependent classes if it is.

Glenn
