Not so great ;-)

Early on in the project one developer was using the ms vm but as I recall he
switched when we started using the 1.2 collections. As far as I know that is
the only feature being used that would prevent someone from using the
library with the ms vm. You should be able to get around this by getting the
Sun collections for pre 1.2 jvm and writing a script to do a search and
replace of the package names in the import statements.

Adding a target to the ant build.xml file that would do this search and
replace is on my list of todo items but it hasn't made it to the top of the
list yet.

If you decide to do any of this let me know because I would love to add the
support into the project for pre 1.2 jvms.
