RE: Barracuda still doesn't compile on JDK 1.3.1

Hi Christian,

Can you point out where servlet-2.3 requires j2sdk1.4.x?  I don't believe 
this statement is true at all.  It may become true in later specs 
(servlet-2.4 maybe?).  However, I'm pretty sure that servlet-2.3 has full 
compatibility with JDK1.3.x.  I don't think Tomcat requires j2sdk1.4.x so 
that would be evidence that there is no such requirement.   So, the 
servlet-2.3 compatibility issue is, IMO, a completely different one than 
the JDK issue.

That said, I think we may want to start requiring servlet-2.3.  Tomcat-5.0 
is well under development which will support the 2.4 spec.  I think it is 
time to take advantage of the new stuff out there.  Servlet-2.3 has too 
many advantages over 2.2 to avoid using it.
