Question: I read that JDK 1.4 has new features: logging, xml, regular exp...
I am not quite sure about the stability and performance. Does it mean that 1.4 is not suitable for development now?

Answer: Absolutely not. When you are first starting out on a new project, especially big one it is a good idea to work with the most recent version of something. By the time you are ready to ship, the version of software that you use will have had the bugs shaken out of it. And you can include it into advantages of your product saying that it is built on latest software platform
