However, they are the same sources in either > case. You can load classes compiled with 1.4 in 5.0, so why not just compile the common and client packages with 1.4 and the server packages with 5.0? There's no real need for consistency, is there? You can't be using Java 5 features in your common or client packages or they wouldn't compile in 1.4. (BTW, I *really* like Java 5. We've been doing all our new development using it.) -- Kathryn Huxtable Middleware Architect Core Middleware Information Technology, a division of Information Services The University of Kansas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
