Yes, this is all that it is needed for.

Well, so this raises an interesting question. Right now
our
code base will compile with either JDK 1.4 or 1.3 but you
don't
get the same thing when you do this. Will a JDK 1.4 build
run
cleanly on JDK 1.3? I would suspect not since the
JGVTComponent
will try and register a scroll wheel event handler which
doesn't
exist in JDK 1.3.
This is fine for development/source dist since the build
tools figure this all out for us, but what about when we go
to make a binary distribution? I think it would be fairly
ugly to
have two binary distributions (one for JDK 1.3, and one for
JDK 1.4+). Is that commonly done?
