Can Jaguar development tools target 10.1.1?

I've just run into a most puzzling situation.

When I create a Java application bundle using Jaguar's development tools, I find that the resulting bundle is not executable on Mac OS X versions prior to 10.1.2. My questions is: "Is there a way to create a more compatible application bundle with the modern development tools?"

I am hoping that there's something simple going wrong here -- like a compiler setting I'm missing.

Here's the symptom:
When you attempt to launch the application bundle on 10.1.1 or prior, the Finder shows the zoom-rects indicative of application launch, but the load process terminates immediately. Console.app reports something like "Unknown symbol: __CFConstantString" .

It looks as though the modern executable stub that to stored in {MyApp}.app/Contents/MacOS has been linked against a symbol that is undefined in Mac OS X versions prior to 10.1.2. This is unfortunate, because Java is providing all kinds of cross-platform compatibility and I can't get the one, platform-dependent part of the bundle to work on different versions of the same OS. This has me thinking that there's got to be an easy solution that I'm missing.

Any advice is appreciated...
