Running Equinox with Java 1.3 [message #81767]

I've been looking around for any best practices for running Equinox on a
Java 1.3 VM both in PDE and outside.
--
With just the vanilla 1.3 JRE Equinox fails (at least in PDE) strangely with
no error messages or logs when I launch -- even with verbose on.
If I debug we fail in the required java version check in
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
Setting -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.3 gets me past that problem however it
might be nice to log something or am I missing an easier way to do this?

My other question is for the XML parser APIs and implementation.
Am I best to create a framework extension bundle to handle these packages?

Any help would be appreciated here.

Thanks.
-Simon

This error is usually reported by exe which catches the return code and
displays the appropriate message.

As for the XML parsing, in previous experiments DJ has been using 2 xml
parsing bundles from eRCP and install them as framework.extensions
(-Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.ercp.xmlParserAPIs, org.eclipse.ercp.xml).
However I find weird the necessity to have those installed as framework
extensions.
