I've got some currently running code that is using 1.6 runtimes and I 
won't be able to upgrade them right away.  I want to use the new 
compiler for new work and I tried using the -target and -source options 
but I've run into a snag.  JList is now JList<E> and the compiler issues 
a warning even with -source set to 1.6.  Is that to be expected or what? 
  I don't think using the type specification with JList would compile 
with a 1.6 compiler.  Do I just need to ignore the warning and press on? 
  And JComboBox too I found.

Thanks,
