Good news - the just-released experimental japitools-0.9.1 appears to be 
able to japize 1.4 just fine. I imported the source for jode.bytecode 
and jode.util into the japitools source itself, removed the jode 
jarball, converted the ".java.in" files into plain java by hand, and 
removed the version check, and it seems to work (I made all the changes 
blind and untested on my crappy personal computer and just ran it once 
on my work computer). Results of comparison will be up shortly and it 
will be added to the nightlies from tonight onwards.

This also means, btw, that the html output is now available for people 
to play with a bit. The documentation is pretty non-existent but there's 
some hints in the changelog at the top of the webpage. Basically it's

$ japicompat -v jdk1x.japi.gz classpath.japi.gz | japiohtml

For old-style text output use japiotext instead of japiohtml, although 
this doesn't quite have all the information the old text output used to 
have. That will be fixed in a later version.
