Re: [jCharts-users] Dependency on JDK 1.4

[Nathaniel G. A. <nat...@ya...>]

Yeah, we should remove these and keep the src runnable under 1.3

There is code in there which requires 1.4.x to compile though.  The image encoders use jdk 1.4.x
specific code.  But you can still run with 1.2 or 1.3 if you use the xxx13 encoder.
