Yep, JGNAT 1.1p works (mostly) fine with with JDK 1.2.2, but tasking is
broken when used with JDK 1.3.  And I've not tried it with JDK 1.4, but
based on what I've seen, I think the likelihood of it working very well
is low.

I've heard that the last supported version of JGNAT worked okay with
1.3, but I know of no access to that version.  In addition, ACT has
terminated support for JGNAT  :-(  Business decision on their part, for
which I can't blame them--their intent is to make a profit, after
all--but I really liked the concept and had been heavily using the
public version.  Oh well.
