such a change will leave some applications without an upgrade path.
Rick could you clarify this. I had thought that that we would still
support J2ME and jdk 1.4.2 and that this is a change that would only
affect developers building Derby, not users running Derby. Is that
correct?
Thanks

Hi Kathey,
Yes, that's correct. Product code will continue to be at 1.4 source
level, it will be compiled down to 1.4 class targets, and the resulting
product classes will continue to run on J2ME and on jdk1.4. Derby 10.4
will run on all of the platforms that 10.3 does.
It should be possible, however, to build optional Java 5 code. Derby
would only use this code if Derby detected that it was running on a Java
5 (or later) platform.
I hope this is clearer.
Regards,
-Rick
