thanks or the info, I'll get things ready.
I was just wondering what strategy you're taking regarding JDK version.
I read in the FAQ about v1.3.1 compatibility & while I find backward
compatibility a virtue, there comes a time when you have to call it a day.
I would say JDK 1.3.1 has had its day & half of the day after.
Surely its time to move on?
Best regards,
