Description

In the "JDK 1.4 support" conversation at Derby Users:
http://www.nabble.com/JDK-1.4-support--td20650279.html
I made a point that JRE 1.4 should not be required for build since SUN's JRE 1.4 went End Of Life.

Issue Links

• is depended upon by: DERBY-3984 Separate out the small number of build targets which really require JDK1.4 features from the bulk of the targets which ought to compile cleanly against small device libraries
• is depended upon by: DERBY-3988 Set the Java 6 complilation path based on the Java 5 compilation path so that the JDBC4 support is always built
• is related to: DERBY-3983 User Guide documentation on the limitations of small-device support is stale
