As far as I remember, with the 1.3 CTS there was signature tests that
would allow testing "J2EE 1.3 Compatible" on a 1.4 VM. I have not
seen the equivalent J2EE 1.4 tests, but there may be (or perhaps
coming) a similar set of tests that allow a J2EE 1.4 compatibility
test to complete on a Java 5 VM.
BTW, Java EE marketing has been pushing to use the term
Java EE Compatible
Not certified, not compliant or other terms, but "compatible". I
think it is fair to support this phrasing as we are part of this
marketing effort of the Java EE brand.

J2EE 1.4 requires Java 1.4 whereas Java EE 1.5 does Java 5 (the
acronyms used in these forms intentionally). So, we can't simply
say 'we should', but it's a must to be J2EE 1.4-compliant *and*
certified.
