<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
1.5 or higher.

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
here for reference.
</p>
<p>
Legacy: As of the 1.1.13 release, the text index handling supports
the entire ISO-8859-1 character set. Consequently table names can
(as of this release) contain any character in this character set.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
Some suggestions (for older releases):
release) contain any character in this character set.
</p>
<ul>
<li>Use only ascii (or ISO-8859-1 as of 1.1.13) characters in table
names if at all possible</li>
<li>If tables with international characters are required, create the
tables using Access, then update the tables using jackcess.</li>
<li>For indexes on user created tables, populate the table without
indexes in jackcess, then add the index using Access.</li>
