Does anyone know what Apple's strategy will likely be with regard to providing the new 1.4.1 JDK, and yet maintaining compatibility for 1.3.1 development? I have a large project which is deployed on Linux servers running 1.3.1_04, and I CANNOT use a JDK 1.4.1 build environment (due to many interface changes in the JDBC API), but I would like to be able to use the JDK 1.4.1 environment for day-to-day use.
This is a very nice feature of Windows Java - I can keep many JDKs and switch them as desired.
Will this be possible? Will Apple have a preference pane for selecting which JDK version you want to use? Am I just stuck?
