Spymemcached 2.8.0 not compatible with Java 1.5.x

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are currently using spymemcached 2.7.3 and it is working fine with JRockit 
JVM 1.5.0_11.  When upgrading to spymemcached 2.8.0 I am getting class not 
found on:

 net/spy/memcached/DefaultConnectionFactory
 net/spy/memcached/MemcachedClient

When upgrading to Sun 1.6.0_26 the class not found goes away but the following 
error appears in Hibernate Memcached:

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: NATIVE_HASH
        at com.googlecode.hibernate.memcached.spymemcached.SpyMemcacheClientFactory.getHashAlgorithm(SpyMemcacheClientFactory.java:125)
        at com.googlecode.hibernate.memcached.spymemcached.SpyMemcacheClientFactory.buildDefaultConnectionFactory(SpyMemcacheClientFactory.java:60)
        at com.googlecode.hibernate.memcached.spymemcached.SpyMemcacheClientFactory.getConnectionFactory(SpyMemcacheClientFactory.java:41)
        at com.googlecode.hibernate.memcached.spymemcached.SpyMemcacheClientFactory.createMemcacheClient(SpyMemcacheClientFactory.java:32)
        at com.googlecode.hibernate.memcached.MemcachedCacheProvider.start(MemcachedCacheProvider.java:153)

I'm sorry, but we have to cut with the past someday.  There are no plans to 
support Java 1.5 with spymemcached 2.8.

Are you sure this is related to the JVM version?

I am pretty sure as the only change that was made was I swapped the 2.7.3 jar 
for the 2.8.0 jar
