I'm keen to see it built using maven2. However the problem is that maven2 requires java1.4 to run while we want the resulting binary to work in java1.2. Option 1 is for the maven buildfile to ensure that all compilation and unit tests are done with an external jdk of version 1.2. That's tricky though. Option 2 is to build the release with whatever version you want (eg 1.6) but use target=1.2, then test with 1.2 to ensure that there are no dependencies on methods not available in earlier jdks. This sounds better to me. I think it would be possible to create a very simple ant file that can be run with java 1.2 (on windows probably, as java1.2 is a pain to install on linux). This ant file would use an existing jar and precompiled unit tests, and just re-execute those unit tests with the old jdk. I have been meaning to set this up for a long while now but just cannot find the time..
