That sounds like a good idea.  Testing on JDK 1.4, which has been EOL for years 
now, seems like a waste of time.

Java 6 extended support ends this December, so either Java 6 or Java 7 might be 
a good place to start.

I'm curious. Why do you need 1.4 and 1.3? Do you have customers using those?

This needs to be understood correctly. Xerces can run on min JREs 1.4 (if XSD 
1.1 is needed) and 1.3 respectively. This doesn't mean, that Xerces cannot run 
on higher version JREs (I've personally tested, that Xerces 2.12.0 can run fine 
up to JDK 9).

May be its time, we need to revisit the min JDK levels for Xerces. Michael 
Glavassevich needs to organize consensus on this.
