We use a CI installation for XStream to manage such a setup. The XStream itself is compiled with JDK 1.5 (currently) for the release, but for CI we also use Ant to produce a (limited) JDK 1.3 version. What's missing so far is to compile and run the tests with JDK 1.3 only using the standard version... > You're right about beeing easier to have multiple branches > for various JRE, > but from a user point of view, having the same jar working on java1.3 > as minimal but having support for java 1.4 classes and maybe > tiger is great.
