I downloaded 1.4.1 of Smack, and when I tried to recompile my classes using JDK 1.2.2 (which is our base), I got the following error:
import org.jivesoftware.smack.packet.XMPPError;
^
error: Invalid class file format in /us1/cm/sysinfra/jar/smack.jar(org/jivesoftware/smack/packet/IQ.class). The major.minor version ‘‘49.0’’ is too recent for this tool to understand.
From what I can tell, this means the class was compiled with JDK 1.5, which generates class files (by default) that are incompatible with earlier versions of Java.
