Hi Scott,
I am starting a new thread, since I feel that this question might be useful for those who are interested in your book and it is essential to know this.

I just would like to know which JDK version should be used to compile and run the codes available in the book. For the safe side, we could use the latest JDK 1.5, but, u know, for those who do not have that version readily installed on the machine, will JDK 1.4 be alright for the codes?

JDK 1.4 will be fine for everything but the Synth examples which require 1.5. While I haven't tried it, I think 99% of the code would also work with 1.3 even. JGoodies Forms, Validation, and Binding are 1.3+ compatible I think as are Foxtrot and Spin.
