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. I was thinking of wiring a check into the "init" target
of the top level build.xml. The build would fail if the compiler wasn't
advanced enough. Would that satisfy your build requirements?
Thanks,
