13 Mar 2014 by Pete Brunet - There is some version dependent code that is currently obsolete (differentiates between 1.3, 1.4, 1.5) and should be removed.
This is on the order of a week's effort. The API has a GetVersionInfo function. I recently talked to the major screen reader vendor and they indicated they don't use the function, but in any event it returns whatever the java.version property string is. We should have some release notes and when they are ready I will notify the Assistive Technology vendors.
