It is probably better to use a JDK 6 install to make sure you're not using any new classes/methods introduced in 7. The source and target switches don't cover that. If you really want to use a JDK 7 install to compile for Java 6, you should compile with -bootclasspath /path/to/jdk1.6.0/lib/rt.jar (in addition to source/target). At that point you've probably got JDK 6 installed, and might as well use it.
