Please, bug the classpath developpers AT <[email protected]>! It should work at least with jdk1.4 (well, try to make this work! ;-)) > Have other packages had to deal with similar issues?

So you could subscribe to the classpath mailing list and ask there how you can help and try to provide patches to make Bouncy Castle build and run and pass all the test suite with free tools. This way, your package could go to main, which is a very good thing. Another approach would be to build the package with some jdk's (1.4 and 1.5 are enough) and add jdk14 and jdk15 to the binary name. Maybe you can have a look at libpg-java I think it builds several jars for different jdk's.
