JDK 1.2 did not change any existing 1.1 APIs.
many new classes and methods were added, however.
a very few number of classes and methods were deprecated in 1.1.

deprecated classes:

1) java.security.Certificate
2) java.security.Identity
3) java.security.IdentityScope
4) java.security.Signer

deprecated methods:

1) java.security.Security.getAlgorithmProperty(String algName,
String propName)

2) java.security.Signature.setParameter(String param,
Object value)

3) java.security.Signature.getParameter(String param)

if you can work around and not use these classes and methods,
i don't see any problem with using JDK 1.1 for the present time.

thanks,
charlie
