being lucky enough not to have code affected by this, I don't really
care which java version we use, but on the whole I incline to sticking
with a version that works rather than having the latest one for
the sake of it (though where possible/easy we should get our code
working for a variety of sensible JVMs). So rolling back to 1.4.1
seems like sense to me, unless we had a compelling motivation for
moving to 1.4.2 - did we?
