I know a little about programming, but it's pretty high level.
There is an app I found written in Java that is perfect for something that I am looking to do. Modern versions of this don't seem to work as well or require a higher level of proficiency in some other programming language/ program in order to work properly.
This app is just about 10 years old and hasn't been updated since December 1999. (It was abandoned) It's written in Java 1.1 I believe.
I am curious, is there a problem with running an app that old with the current version of Java. Security issues, compatibility issues? Can I do it but face X potential problems?
Any advice, tips, suggestions, etc would be greatly appreciated!
