[jcifs] no chance to run jcifs_0.7.0b7

[Matthew Tippett]

Instead of making this a FAQ, we can detect it at runtime

See

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/applet/practical/properties.html

in particular the java.version System property.  In which case we can 
throw a runtime exception or similar.

Regards,

Matthew
