Hibernate version: 3.1

I'm trying to port a webapp from h2 to h3 having jre 1.3.1.

After two days of madness... I've found that hibernate3.jar (both extracted from sourceforge hibernate-3.1.zip and hibernate-3.1.tar.gz) contain at least a class compiled with target setting 1.4 (major: 48 minor: 0). The class I've checked is HibernateException, but I think that for all other classes it's the same.
Maybe I was in error... but minimum requirements for hibernate 3 are JDK 1.3.1, so I supposed that the distributed package is also build against that version. :(

Luckily Hibernate is an OS tool so I can rebuild myself all the package with jdk1.3 ...

If you read our download documentation at http://www.hibernate.org/6.html you wouldn't need to have two days of madness ;)

Yes, certainly it is my fault :( But I've never had the nedd to recompile hibernate, the minimum requirements are for 1.3.1 so I've assumed that it was built with this version and I skipped reading CVS and Compiling Hibernate.
Can I at least suggest to put a note into Hibernate 3 migration guide, so, everyone is going to migrate form hibernate2 (where precompiled class are working) can rebuild all the package.

Thank you for your support :)

I've added it to the FAQ (not live yet).

Thank you.
But, I think that it's not possible build "production hibernate 3.1" with jdk1.3 because there are some "AssertionError" thrown (for example in AbstractEntityPersister.java). I also think that Max has replaced them from source code releases dated after Dec 14, but I've not had time to check current CVS sources (I've read this in "Hibernate 3.1 and jdk1.3" post).
Is this is the real case maybe it can be better to specify in the FAQ that hib3.1 cannot be built against jdk 1.3 from stable sources but only form CVS.

I want to say thank you to all hibernate team for their invaluable support and I wish all you happy holidays.

This is not going to go the FAQ, because JDK 1.3.1 incompatibilities are considered as bug are treated as such.
