does not run on JRE 5

[GoogleCodeExporter]

is it possible to compile the lib with "-target 1.5" ?

otherwise it wouldn't run under websphere 6.1 which is unfortunately still 
popular enough...

I don't see why not.  It works for me.

it compiles, but the following call fails - 

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java/util/Arrays.copyOf([BI)[B
    at com.dd.plist.PropertyListParser.parse(PropertyListParser.java:60)
/**
public static byte[] copyOf(byte[] original, int newLength)
Since:
1.6
*/

Ah, I see - that call only happens when calling parse(byte[]), not 
parse(InputStream).  Should be easy to work around.  Have you seen any other 
1.6-isms?  I can parse and unparse files on 1.5 without problems.

indeed -
        //byte[] magic = Arrays.copyOf(bytes, 8);
    byte[] magic = new byte[8];
    System.arraycopy(bytes, 0, magic, 0, 8); 

haven't spotted any other 1.6-isms yet

any plans to implement saveAsBinary()?

I've implemented it - see issue #3.  Care to code review it?

thanks very much indeed! i was busy messing around with extracting public keys 
from client certificates installed onto iOS devices, therefore late reply

so basically i favor http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?GuardClause
