I propose that we require Java 5 (or higher) in order to build Derby.
This is mostly an implementation issue, but it would be nice if you could make the build files be as careful as possible about giving a good message when the environment is incorrect.
I find myself periodically jumping around between builds of 10.2, 10.3, and the trunk, and I'm hoping to minimize the amount of build environment re-jiggering that I have to do when I do this. For example, it would be nice if I could maintain a single ant.properties file and have it work for both my trunk builds and my 10.2/10.3 builds. thanks, bryan
