As they should do anyway. Java is not mature and it's constantly changing. I
think it's constantly improving.

Even Orion (your specialty I gather) requires some features of 1.3, even if
it runs just dandy for most applications with 1.2.2. The orion-interest list
will tell you more about that.

Fine with me. I don't have to do the work. :-)
