Sorry I am not much help here. I vote: +0
I was I think the most clamorous about moving from 1.1 to 1.2. After far too long we were able to move to 1.3. I agree that 1.2 to 1.3 is not such a big deal. Off hand I do not know of any platforms that support 1.2 but not 1.3. With ANT I would not think that it would be very difficult to do some kind of conditional compilation. For a while we had done something similar to do JDK 1.1 builds.

We had a little uproar when JDK 1.1 support was killed. I wonder how many people are still working with JDK 1.2. It's a relatively big step from 1.1 up, but not from 1.2 to 1.3. > 2) Remove truetype font support from AWT viewer That will also be rather unpopular, I think. > 3) Compile Fop with JDK1.3 (which will be done anyway) > and state in the release notes that compiling with JDK1.2 > and using truetype fonts in the AWT viewer does not work. Probably the best for the moment. I don't know if some conditional compiling is doable. If yes, it probably won't be very maintenance friendly. Other voices?
