Sorry, David since v0.9.7 Columba needs JDK1.4 ;-( . We already started porting gui/io/xmlconfig-stuff to JDK1.4 and it would be to much work, to keep up development with two different trees, so we decided to 
drop the old JDK completly. This was necessary because if you want to for example speed up io, you
have to use the new nio-api.
