Am I missing something, but IIRC cocoon 2.2. should compile and run

Yes, even though it seems that only few souls living in solitude use
Java 1.4 these days...
Not my case, I am already on 1.6. ;)
I asked due the contract with our user base. Perhaps it is time to
reconsider this issue before the 2.2 release.
For those not remembering, we are waiting for Joerg to retract his veto
against switching to Java 1.5.
In the meantime the benefit of supporting Java 1.4 decreases each day
while the cost of doing so increases ...

Well, for what it's worth (which isn't much) I for one am glad Cocoon 2.2 still
supports JDK 1.4. It's finally looking like our US datacentre is getting their
act together so my team can plan to migrate our sites off Websphere 5.0 (JDK
1.3, and end-of-life'd about 9 months ago!) onto a more recent version.
However, the new version that they are willing to support is 6.0, which uses...
JDK 1.4
In 2007 the company decided to upgrade to websphere 6.0. It is a product
from 2004. Hence I don't believe such cutting-edge technology as cocoon
2.2 is going to be picked up there until it is not 3 years old or so,
hence we are talking about year 2010 when the company will plan to move
to java 5 and cocoon 2.2. Is this correct? If yes, there is another
reason to move to java 5 for cocoon 2.2 now! :)
We're already being pressured to ditch Cocoon in favour of a proprietary
in-house framework (which would be a shame IMO as Cocoon is a much better fit
with our XML-based content management system). Without 1.4 support, Cocoon
becomes a dead end for us with no upgrade path, which would make it harder to
justify continuing with it.
Minimal cocoon 2.1 requires java 1.3, but in fact you get more of it
with java 1.4, some newer blocks requieres it as the minimal entry java
version.

Antonio Gallardo.
I guess that makes us the few souls living in solitude :-)
