Hello,
when playing around with commons transaction I did a test compile with
JDK 1.3. I wonder if we can still claim that 1.3 is the minimum requirement.
One bug in the build.xml I fixed already [1]. But you still can't
compile commons transaction with JDK 1.3 as it fails for ResourceManager
extending javax.transaction.Status being JDK 1.4 compiled. Even
compiling it with 1.4 and just running with 1.3 will fail as long as you
don't provide the jta classes compiled with 1.3 - and I wonder if that
exists.

I think there should be 1.3 compatible binaries for JTA (as part of
J2EE 1.3 compat requirements). Perhaps its just a matter of finding
them or pinging the project that is producing the ones you are using.
I don't see a problem if it would be only the jta/jca stuff requiring
1.4, but would like to see it clearly separated in the source tree then.
(side note: How do other commons projects handle this?) But with
ResourceManager and javax.transaction.Status that's not possible.

Niall's handling of [validator] [1] is a recent example aimed at
changing the minimum JDK requirement (and potentially maintaining more
than one lines of development based on that, if there is interest).
