    I just installed j2sdk1.4.2_03 from Sun on a Linux machine and even
    here when I compile with "-target 1.1", I can have Vector.add()
    and it compiles fine (as does under JBuilder). But Microsoft JVM seems to
    need Vector.addElement(). So it is not just JBuilder that thinks
    it is ok in 1.1.

    It is not just my imagination. Really.

    Still wishing for some "portability lint" program for Java ...
