--------------------------------------

Hi Knut,

Thanks for the great feedback and thanks for fixing the build problem. After 
taking a walk yesterday, I cleared my head out and came to conclusions similar 
to yours. Don't be alarmed, I'm not planning to introduce another pile of stubs.

I agree that my experiments suggest some other, orthogonal JIRAs, which I will 
log. I agree that the endpoint of this JIRA is to remove our build dependency 
on JDK1.4. I think we need the following other JIRAs:

1) A small device doc issue: We should explicitly call out the features which 
we don't expect will work on small device platforms.

2) A small device build issue: Distinguish the build targets which really 
require JDK1.4 from the ones which only require the small device libraries.

I think that defaulting java14compile.classpath to java15compile.classpath 
(plus some extra jars) will probably do the trick for this JIRA.
