Does Jboss 4.2.3.GA support JDK 1.4.2?

Question

I'm migrating my apps from WebSphere to JBoss. I would like to know if JBoss 4.2.3 GA supports JDK 1.4.2.

Many thanks in advance.

No, JDK 1.5 is required for JBoss 4.2 and upwards.

If you're stuck on Java 1.4, then JBossAS 4.0.x is the best you can do. If you're not stuck on Java 1.4, then you really need to upgrade to 1.6 - even 1.5 has reached end-of-life by now.
