I know there are still some application servers that use 1.3 and i use it alot to test with before i actually deploy to those servers. I know that there are some java apps that require the 1.3 to compile their source. i have been looking at doing the apache derby ebuild and that one require that you use 1.3 and 1.4 to build certain parts of it (http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html#How+to+build+Derby) so i think there still might be some need for 1.3. -- ray -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
