> So the answer is Java 1.3
Danny also said "avalon dependancies may limit this to 1.4 for 2.1x versions
(head of cvs)" and "newer [than 2.0a3] releases will be compiled by 1.4."
So far I haven't had a problem running the CVS (2.1) release with JDK 1.3,
but I don't know if newer releases of the Avalon components will require
1.4. As I understand it, so far there is not a requirement for JDK 1.4 in
either James or the Avalon components we depend upon.
However, as I understood your question, you want to know if/when it is OK to
start making use of JDK 1.4 capabilities in James. That question doesn't
appear to be answered by TFM.

Danny et al,
Sorry about that. Don't know how I missed it. :)
So the answer is Java 1.3
