Thanks Diane
Good to know it will work. Can I assume that I will be telling Ant to use
the the jdk1.1.6 compiler by setting the build.compiler property in the
build file? or do I only need to make the 1.2.2 compiler use the jdk1.1.6
classpath?
I still haven't come to grips with all the backwards/forwards compatibility
issues amongst byte code and jvms for the various java versions.
