Description
Because JDK 1.3 has reached its EOL a long time ago, support for this JDK can now be dropped in the 1.x series. This simplifies the creation of new releases and also the build environment. Also, some new features introduced with JDK 1.4 can now be used, e.g. regular expressions.
Changing the minimum required JDK version involves some updates of the documentation, too.
