Understand for which versions of JRE Jpowder will work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Observation by Ken:

Java on student Pc is 5.0 v 15
When trying to run jar, it says it will open with
Java 2 Platform standard edition binary
but throws that “could not find main class” error
I mentioned on the phone

Understand from which versions of JRE Jpowder will work, and discuss if there 
is an easy way of making Jpowder with more versions of JRE.

I have test all the java version starts from 1.2 to 1.6 and I found that 
Jpowder can only be run if JRE version 1.6 or later installed.
The results:
Version 1.2 busted.
version 1.3 busted.
Version 1.4 busted (In this version the first java webstart was released) 
trying running Jpowder on this version asks to install Java version 1.5+.
Version 1.5 busted. in this version when java webstart is run it asks question 
if you would like to create short cut on your desktop, it dose create short cut 
but uses the java default image and Jpowder can not be run.
1.6 first update works and shows the Jpowder Splash image(Image shown when 
webstart is loading) instead of java default image.
1.6 latest update works fine however when running Jpowder webstart it replaces 
Jpowder splash image with  Java default image .
