Use Continuous Integration and a test suite.

The CI server will ensure that your code is built automatically and regularly, and will moan and complain on your behalf if a developer broke the build. If an attempt is made to compile code using a v1.4 JDK against v1.5 dependencies, this step will fail are your developers will be warned.

The CI server is also able to run your test suite. If an attempt is made to run the test suite and there are 1.5 transistive dependencies present, your tests will fail and your developers will get moaned at to fix the problem.

Graham
