[mapserver-users] Which Java JDK?

[Paul Ramsey]

Java 1.1 only. For whatever sad reason (*cough* MicroSoft *cough*) Java
in browsers never advanced past Java 1.1. Which in some ways is nice,
because there is not a huge mixed set of Java versions out there to
worry about (*cough* ignoring VM implementation issues *cough*).
