How much effort are we willing to expend James> to support the multiple APIs. Historically what we've done is just target the latest release from Sun. At the moment this still seems like a very good approach, given our constraints (manpower mostly). Also, I don't see what making some subset release would buy us. Why not just release it all? Most programs that run in 1.1 will run fine against the 1.4 library (modulo all the changes Dalibor points out). As I see it, the difference with 1.5 support is just that there are major language changes, and the free compilers and runtimes don't support them yet. So, in my view, compiler-breaking changes ought to be done on a branch until the compiler/runtime sides are more ready.
