Tomcat 5.5 supposed to run on JDK 1.5.  Why was it compiled with JDK
1.4?


Because it's supposed to run on JRE 1.4 as well.  Compiling on 1.5 would
have precluded that.

Not necessarily. But it would create complications to maintain 1.4 compatibility where there is 1.5 specific code. The 1.5 code is skipped if 1.4 is used to build.

I'm a bit suspicious of the statement that certain classes had to be
recompiled with 1.5; I suspect there's something more subtle than that
going on.

Nope, it is that simple. There was a discussion about this on the
dev list recently. However, I would be wary of only compiling the "extra" classes. To be on the safe side, I would re-build the lot with 1.5.
