Hi Ian,
Does the 2.1 JAR actually fail to work in your JCAPS install?
We actually just finally put the last nail the coffin of our own JCAPS
installation at UHN about 3 weeks ago oddly enough, but for years we were
running 5.1.2 with HAPI embedded in it (the non JDK14 version). The
edesigner doesn't support Java 5+ code, but the runtime worked fine with it
so really all this prevented was the use of things like generics in the
code editor.
Cheers,
James
