[jdom-interest] UnsupportedClassVersionError when running with JRE 1.4.2

[Jason Hunter]

The official distribution was, and is, built against JDK 1.2 to avoid 
this issue.  If you're getting that error it means you're not using the 
JAR we officially distribute.  Why don't you download again and check? 
If you still get the error, you may have a second copy of the JAR 
somewhere like in your std extension directory that you're unaware of.
