Steve Ebersole reopened HHH-3753:
---------------------------------


We do not plan on dropping JDK 1.4 support for 3.3 at least.  There is some discussion about it for 3.5 (the next major rev, Aug/Sept), but it is still being discussed.  We had originally planned to drop 1.4 support in 4.0.

So this is something we need to revisit unfortunately.

> I would like to suggest that hibernate upgrade to SLF4J version 1.5.6 (the trunk currently uses 1.5.2). Several important bugs were fixed between 1.5.2 and 1.5.6. Just as importantly, 1.5.6 is more tolerant when there is a mismatch between the slf4j-api and its binding (e.g. slf4j-log4j12). The version mismatch problem (see [1]) seems to pose problems to several users. 
> We are taking this issue seriously. SLF4J version 1.5.6 mitigates this problem by alerting the user about SLF4J version mismatches. (Thus, instead of a mysterious exception, the user gets an explanation pinpointing the problem.) We are also working on making slf4j-api and its bindings to mix and match independenly of their versions.
> Anyway, I think upgrading to SLF4J 1.5.6 would benefit hibernate users.
