Hi Damien,

[ cc'ed the mailing list - please reply there. ]

Thanks a lot for that - I'll disable it in the next release, and get
the new version to you before then.

The reason for this warning is because JSX needs to rely
on private implementation details of the JVM (not public
methods), which the JVM supplier could change without
warning.

But perhaps this warning is not really needed? It's never
actually helped find a bug, and it annoys people.

If there is a bug with a new JVM version, it will be
reported as such. In fact, these aspects of the JVM change
only rarely (only 3 different versions for Sun's JVM, since Java 1.2),
and any problem will be immediately apparent. I like the idea
of safety, in warning people that there *could* be a problem -
but problems will be apparent, anyway; unless an insidious bug,
which is not easily detected, anyway. In other words - this
warning doesn't help detect those problems, anyway.

To rectify this, I will remove this check on JVM versions altogether.

Is that OK with you (and everyone else)?


cheers,
Brendan
