You're right, but I'll be adding support for running the unit tests on 1.4
as well... I was first thinking about adding a simple master build script
that executes the two builds (1.4 and 1.5) but the problem here is that the
'ant' task does not support forking of a new JVM and doing an 'exec' is not
an option, since I want to preserve the log files. JUnit does support the
fork (we're already doing it) and you can also specify a JVM to use.

About building (compiling), I thought the behavior when building on 1.5 in
combination with adding the compatibility flag would be the same as with
building on 1.4, wouldn't it?

Well, I don't object to such a property in general. But such a property only
makes sense if you intend to build the 1.4 version on JDK 1.5: I don't think
there's much point in that; building the 1.5 version only would be
sufficient then.

The capability of our build script to build on 1.4 is really just meant as a
fallback for users that want to do custom builds on their 1.4 JDK. The only
value we could add to the auto-builds is to check that building the 1.4
version actually works *on JDK 1.4*, which we can't check by building on JDK
1.5...

  If nobody objects, I'll be modifying the build file to include an extra
property that indicates whether or not you want to build on 1.5. I want to
have the autobuild build for both 1.5 and 1.4 but I can't get this to work
while maintaining the build numbers. To in addition to detecting the Java
version automatically, there will be a property you can specify when issuing
an Ant command.
