A minor release, JXV0.2 was made to add JDK1.3 support to JXV. The exception handling mechanism's dependency on JDK1.4-style wrapped exceptions was eliminated, and now JDK1.3 can run JXV (although the performance under 1.3 is noticeably weaker).

The first version of Java XML View, JXV0.1, has been released. This is a fully-functional alpha version containing all of the major functionality planned for the first final release.
This release of JXV supports only JDK1.4. Support for 1.3 is planned for the next minor release, although important performance improvements in 1.4 concerning reflection and hashtables make 1.4 VMs more appropriate for running JXV in general.
