     13  * A constant collection to detect the current JRE version. Note that this code
     14  * is more sophisticated then a mere check of "java.version" or "java.class.version"
     15  * and similar system properties because some JVMs allow overriding those
     16  * by the user (e.g., from the command line). This implementation relies on
     17  * the core classes only and tries to minimize the number of security-sensitive
     18  * methods it uses.<P>
     19  *
     20  * This interface is supported in Java 1.1+ and should be compiled with class
     21  * version stamp 45.3 (-target 1.1).
