       Body:
As I understand it, the 2.2.1_fcs branch is intended to support JDK 1.3 and we 
shouldn't be committing code depending on JDK 1.4 to this branch. 

Such code will break the build if a JDK 1.3 compiler is used. If a JDK 1.4 compiler is 
used it will build OK but will not run under JDK 1.3.

A similar problem is dealt with by the Ant "prepare-jdbc3" target in 'build.xml' (the 
JDBC version varies with JDK). Perhaps a similar approach will deal with this issue?

Alternatively solutions include:
- Only committing JDK 1.3 compliant code
- Continuing to use JDK 1.3 for the official build but add an option to 'build.xml' to 
allow JDK 1.4 and add a set of JDK 1.4 reliant sources which are only included if this 
option is set. In this way anyone building from source can elect to discard JDK 1.3 
support.

In any event, IMHO we should always simultaneously commit any required updates to 
resources such as 'build.xml' or the libs to ensure a clean build under the officially 
supported JDK.

Of course, opinions may differ.
