The plan is that EJBCA will be compatible with JDK 1.3, the current CVS 
version however is not, simply due to the fact that we haven't focused 
on that yet for the 2.0 release (it is still in pre-stage, thought it is 
stabilizing pretty fast).
The 1.4 dependencies are all in new code.
Herrvendil, can you have a look into JDK 1.3 ?

It't pretty simple:
-JDK 1.4
-Ant 1.4

No special configuration for any of those is needed.

-JBoss 3.0.1

Configuration needed in JBoss for various things (most notably the Web 
GUI in CVS) should be described in doc/README. Apart from the web-gui 
(which can be left out using 'deploy nora'), no configuration of JBoss 
is needed.

-Eclipse

We use Eclipse (eclipse.org) as development environment, there are two 
files in the root, .classpath and .project which is for eclipse and 
makes it work as soon as EJBCA is checked out as a project in eclipse.
NetBeans or emacs works fine as well offcourse...

-OS

We develop both on Windows 2K and Linux.

Hope this was the information you're looking for.
