Re: [docbook-apps] Generate SCORM from DocBook

["Michael(tm) Smith" <smith@sideshowbarker.net>]

This looks really interesting. I remember reading up on learning
objects and SCORM a few years back and thinking it looked
promising, but never got around to exploring it much after that.

Anyway, when I try your build, I get an "Unsupported major.minor
version 49.0" error (see the log below).  My Java runtime is
1.4.2. Is your code backward compatible with Java 1.4?
