Your clients can still use the current releases of jars that are 1.3, right? They would still be available and source for them would be available.
One day you can sell them on 1.4 upgrades.

Our app server product's requirement is 1.3.1. We cannot ask our customer to move to 1.4+. :-(
Why? I'll try to be brief.
(1) WebSphere is important to our customers and our stuff has to work in WS. The /majority/ of our installed based and prospects are still on the 1.3-based WS.
(2) OS upgrades. For new JRE versions, on certain OS's, that means OS patches. For our OS/400 and S/390 customers this is a BIG deal.

This has come up in regards to using some of java.nio in Commons/Net
also.
I say we leave the last release as 1.1 compatible and move on to using 1.4+ for new versions.
Personally, I use JVM 1.4+, myself. However, everytime we do a survey on server-user, we get emphatic feedback from our users to preserve support for JVM 1.3.1. Before dropping support for pre-1.4 systems, perhaps it would be a good idea to raise the question on the user list?
There are also ways to support pre-1.4 while still gaining the advantage of 1.4+ systems when available.
