[opencms-dev] Unable to build OpenCms 5.3.5 (Ix) using JDK 1.4.2

[david at ourbrisbane.com]

Hello,

   I have checked out a copy of open cms from the cvs repositroy yesterday, and tried to build it on a redhat 
linux box against JDK1.4.2, but get a number of complie errors.

  A number of source files had inbalid caracheters in their javadoc, (which I removed)

  And a couple of files used sun.misc.BASE64Decoder, which I've also fixed.

  However I am still getting a number of build errors, 

  Is there any documention to fix these errors, Also is there any plans to move from jdk1.3 to jdk1.4 prior to 
this code leaving Beta?
