Exactly.

However, some of the Java source files make use of methods and classes
that require later versions of Java

For example:

java.net.InterfaceAddress requires 1.6
java.net.NetworkInterface - 1.4

FileOutputStream(File file, boolean append) - 1.4
Arrays.copyOf - 1.6
java.lang.System.getenv() - 1.5


Those are all examples *you* made recently.
Before those we had a clean 1.3 code.

I think it's definitely time to abandon Java 1.3, and require at least
1.4 or perhaps 1.5; but I think requiring 1.6 is too much of a jump.


-1. Java 1.3 it is.
Changing that could happen only with daemon-2.0
