You ain't kiddin' Gordon!  One of my recent JPython slaps has been
trying to use JDK 1.2 APIs to provide better functionality.  Well,
y'can't because most JPython users want 1.1 compatibility (for good
reasons) and there's no way[1] to have a single Java codebase that
supports the new APIs and is still compilable under Java 1.1.
