First, you should try the DP2 release of Java Update 2 for 10.4.
<http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2005/Jul/msg00405.html>
The DP1 fixed some Java problems that made it unusable for me on 10.4.
When you recompiled, what with?
And before you recompiled, what had it been compiled with?
I've never seen a simple recompile fix anything that wasn't related to a
bug in the compiler or the compilation environment (config settings, env,
etc.). Compiler bugs aren't runtime bugs, which aren't browser bugs.
I run various partitions with several OS versions from 10.0 thru 10.4.2.
I've never seen Java-1.4 bug related to recompiling, going either forward
or backward. I have plenty of jars compiled under 1.1 that work fine on
J2SE 5.0 (modulo the bugs in Apple's current distro of 5.0).
None of this is saying you're wrong about the Netscape problem, just that
you haven't described exactly what was running, nor how it was produced.
