Usage of JDK 1.2 features/JDK compatibility?

Post #1 of 3 (236 views)

I was working on the getFieldNames diffs and was wondering whether it is
officially OK to use JDK 1.2 features or whether we are trying to
maintain compatibility with JDK 1.1.x. I didn't see this addressed
anywhere, so I figured I'd ask first. If we are trying to remain
compatible with earlier JDKs, is there a point at which we are missing
out on some functionality or improvements that make it more useful to
drop compatibility for obsolete JDKs?

Thanks
Peter

I think we discussed this on the list about six mos ago and decided
that 1.1 was ancient history.
