 * A constant collection to detect the current JRE version. Note that this code
 * is more sophisticated then a mere check of "java.version" or "java.class.version"
 * and similar system properties because some JVMs allow overriding those
 * by the user (e.g., from the command line). This implementation relies on
 * the core classes only and tries to minimize the number of security-sensitive
 * methods it uses.<P>
 *
 * This interface is supported in Java 1.1+ and should be compiled with class
 * version stamp 45.3 (-target 1.1).
