If JBuilder has the option to target Java version 1.1, choose that. You
may have to actually download a 1.1 JDK and tell JBuilder where it is.
Or, you could just occasionally try compiling your applet with a 1.1
compiler, and call that your "lint" tool.

I seem to recall that Microsoft is even a few APIs short of 1.1, but I
don't remember the details. In any case, I don't think it's possible
any longer to get Microsoft's Java development tools, so straight 1.1 is
the closest you'll find.
