The above statement is true only if you use something that is new in 1.2.  If
you use only 1.1 function, your Java program will run on both JDK 1.1.x and Java
1.2.  Some of the Toolbox was written when 1.1.2 was the current JVM.  That code
works on 1.1.8 and 1.2.  Our code didn't get tripped up until Sun renamed the
Swing classes (in 1.2).  We are now in the process of changing our import
statements to use the new Swing package names.  There is a 1.1.x version of
Swing with the new names so once we convert we will once again have code that
runs on both 1.1 and 1.2
