[jdom-interest] JDOM Beta 9 RC 2

[Stephan Trebels]

My understanding is different: 

The JDK 1.4 class file format will not by default be used by javac
(1.4.1).  The default - as always - is to generate class files
compatible to the last major rev, so it's 1.3 class files.  By default
not even aserts will be recognized.
