Java Version

[pak]

Hi there,
can anyone tell me what version(s) of Java the latest releases of Spring will run under?

For example, will "Spring 1.1 RC1" run under java 1.3?

Thanks,
Peter

to run it 1.3 is fine, to build it you need 1.4+

Certain features work faster under 1.4, e.g. AOP if you use dynamic proxies, rather than CGLIB will be significantly faster in 1.4.

But Spring is supported on and works well under 1.3, and falls back to the 1.3 feature set if required. Some of the largest enterprise users of Spring are on 1.3, as they are still on relatively old app server versions.
