 From the official J2SE 1.4.2 page: "J2SE 1.4.2 has begun the Sun End  
of Life (EOL) process. The EOL transition period is from Dec, 11 2006,  
until the General Availability (GA) of the next Java version, Java SE  
7, currently planned for the summer of 2008. With this notice,  
customers are strongly encouraged to migrate to the current release,  
Java SE 6."

So I think Helma should also drop 1.4.x support with the next release.
