Gustav,
I believe the reason for the difference in numbering is that Java 2 is to
do with the version of the Java syntax itself whereas jdk 1.3 is the version
of the product (which happens to support the Java 2 syntax).

Trevor Stuart

Bruce,
Since no one has chimed in, we'll have to assume you're right. Thanks
for the explanation.
Assuming you're correct, my spontaneous reaction is that I find the
numbering scheme ridiculous. (But that's for sure not *your* fault. :-)
Best regards
Gustav
