Code emitted by a Java 5 compiler will not run on a Java 1.4 JVM (unless you specify "-target" and "-bootclasspath", and not always then). Likewise with Java 6 class files trying to run in a Java 5 JVM. Java 1.2 wouldn't run on a 1.1 JVM. It has always been thus. >> And AFAIK then Java has never promised or intended being >> forward compatible. Whatever you call it, the code emitted by the more advance compiler naturally cannot guarantee to run on the older platform. > My main goal was to point out to folks here who may try that snapshot > that "it's not all there yet" so they didn't spend too much time > spinning their wheels if they found something that didn't run. Likely, > it's the JDK that probably isn't 100% yet, not the coder. Even if the JDK were "100%", it would still need a compatible JVM to run it. Just like always. -- Lew
