I distribute source for java for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7

I have been thinking about upgrading at notch or so.

My basic classification rule is:

1.1 purely computational stuff.
1.2 needs a collection
1.3 needs Swing
1.5 for complicated Applets, Java Web Start
1.6 for command line utils.
1.7 for code examples.

What would you recommend?|
