I use JDK1.4.1_01. Default sun's javac behavior is 1.3 compatible. I
copy from 1.4.1_01's javac man page:

     -source release
	     ... snip ....

              When release is set to 1.3, the compiler  does  not
              support  assertions.  The  compiler defaults to the
              1.3-behavior if the -source flag is not used.

I think it fair. I use eclipse compiler with 1.3 compatible
mode. JDK is same as sun's javac and rt.jar is same as sun's.
