Default Help. Is LimeWire really compatible with Windows95?

"Q: What operating systems does LimeWire support?

A: You can use LimeWire on:
Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0, ME, 2000,XP."

I downloaded LimeWire because I was under the impression that it would work with Windows 95, unlike many other new programs. I installed LimeWire okay (had to use the offline-installer, but other than that, fine) .

The first time I ran it, it told me I had to upgrade my Java. So I do that and download the newest version of Java available for Windows 95 (version 1.3.1_16 to be exact).

Then LimeWire tells me that I should upgrade to the latest version of Java, which is not compatible with Windows 95.

So, do I ignore Java's warnings and download the latest Java anyway despite it's supposed incompatibility? Should I try to find an older version of LimeWire somewhere that doesn't require the latest version of Java? Or maybe I need to do neither?

I'm confused. Thanks in advance.
