Perhaps a "-target 1.2" option should be specified on our "javac" targets? I would guess the number of issues with down-compilation from 1.4 to 1.2 is very small, but if we have one in our code base, the compiler won't tell us about it.

Our installation page says our dependency is J2SE 1.2 or later.
Does that mean I should compile the binary distribution
under the latest
J2SE 1.2, or should I use the latest J2SE 1.4?
I have been building the releases using J2SE 1.4 for some time now, and I would recommend sticking with that. Going with 1.4 ensures we get
the
benefits of the latest compiler improvements. The compatibility issue is with the JVM rather than the compiler - we want to be able to run on J2SE 1.2, but we don't need to build the releases with that.
I don't believe this is correct. I think it actually is the COMPILER
that
can cause a compatibility issue. There is an article over at Java
World
that details this problem. The first example makes it clear.
