<question>What version of the JDK does this require?</question>
<answer>
<p>
- Version 1.0 requires JDK 1.4 or higher. The version in SVN trunk
- and all future releases will require JDK 1.5 or higher.
- </p>
- <p>
- However, some users have contributed patches to make later versions
- compatible with JDK 1.4. Please check the contributions/ directory
- in the source repository for any such patches. Note that any code
- in this directory is untested and unsupported, so please use at your
- own risk and do not file bugs based on that code.
+ Version 3.0+ requires JDK 1.8 or higher. 2.x versions require JDK

Update: As of the 1.1.21 release, the <u>text index handling
supports the entire Basic Multilingual Plane 0</u> (i.e. any unicode
character 0x0000-0xFFFF). Consequently table names can (as of this
- release) contain any character in this character set. Therefore,
- the rest of this answer should no longer be an issue, but keeping it

- Legacy: As of the 1.1.13 release, the text index handling supports

- Legacy: Jackcess cannot currently update a text column index with
- values which contain non-ascii characters. This situation often
- arises when tables are created with names which contain
- international characters. Access stores the table names in another
- table which has an index on the table name column. The index
- encoding is not simple to reverse engineer, so it is not likely that
- Jackcess will support this anytime soon.
