Hi Jason,
I considered doing this but it would have entailed a lot of extra coding
and I was anxious to get JDE 2.1.5 released. This is part of a larger
problem of how to make switching JDK's easy. My own fervent hope is that
JDK 1.1.x will just go away. However, if it hangs around and there is
enough interest, I'll look at providing some sort of JDK switching
capability or perhaps someone else can propose a strategy.
