<h4>Building a Release</h4>
<p>
Commons Lang is intented to interoperate with Java version 1.2 and higher. To
achieve this, the distribution must be built with JDK 1.2. Why? Over time the
base JDK has changed. Building with JDK 1.4 would make some things in Commons
Lang not run with prior libraries. For example, new StringBuffer(StringBuffer)
was added after JDK1.2, but compiling under 1.4 could link to it. Run the code
under 1.2 and you get a NoSuchMethodError.
</p>
<p>
To build a release, the distribution should be build with Ant using JDK 1.2.
The Ant target <b>dist-build</b> in build.xml can be used to do this. The
site can be build with Maven.
