This depends on how exactly you define compliance. Will every API be 100% compatible with JDK 1.3 in time
for the release? No. However, many of the important components that are most commonly used by applications,
such as Collections, IO, most of java.lang, etc, are already fully complete wrt the 1.3 spec. How much of
the remaining work gets done depends entirely on how many people are willing to contribute time and energy
to do it ;-)
