I downloaded the source, and tried a naive build on Windows XP, Cygwin.
I put a JDK 1.5 bin directory at the start of my path, and ran "ant
all.build". It failed with the following errors:
compile:

(I'm not worried about the deprecated APIs, just the compile failures.)
I next tried to find instructions. I looked at
src-doc/static/build.html. It says "The bin directory of the Java(TM) 2
SDK, Standard Edition, v 1.4 (or later) must be in your executable
search path."
I believe we now need 1.5 or later.
