If you use maven to develop for a J2EE 1.2/1.3 target enviroment, your
code is required to run on JDK 1.4
A continuum run that builds that code targeted for 1.4 using a JDK 5
is pretty much useless because it doesn't build what must get
deployed.
If you are talking about a Java 5 requirement to run the various
tools, fine. But please keep the option to use an 1.4 compliant
compiler to do the actual test builds.
