David,
 
  This is probably none of my business, but...

Isn't this what integration builds and tests are for?  If someone checks in code that 
does not compile and pass integration tests on all supported platforms, then it should 
probably be rolled back.

Perhaps a code conventions guide in addition to the code style guide?  The Checkstyle 
tool (http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net) might also be used/modified to enforce this 
and other usage rules.

        I'd prefer to have a reliable way to report these problems, since I don't
        consider it realistic for me to develop on 1.3.1.  How do you detect them?
        
        For the particular problem of nested exceptions, I think we should always
        use the jboss NestedThrowable stuff Jason wrote since it provides a much
        more reasonable stack trace.  Dain and I made as much as we could find of
        the jca and jta frameworks use this with good results. How could we make
        this better known and popularize it?
        
        thanks
