Geez, having some very bad release-luck. Got his question on IRC:
<rniamo> hi, is openejb 3.1.4 java 5 compliant? i think it uses
Property.stringPropertyNames() method which is only java 1.6 compliant
Of course OSX yanked Java 1.5, so I booted up a Parallels VM and ran
the build with WinXP and JDK 1.5 and sure enough...

So anyway, have to change my +1 to a -1 as not having Java 1.5 support
is showstopper -- not something that can wait till next release.
Curse Apple for removing JDK 1.5 ... as if -source 1.5 and/or -target
1.5 is even close to good enough.
Thank you to whoever rniamo is, you saved the day!
Once again.. new binaries shortly.
