Note that it's possible to change the boot classpath to include Java 1.6 API
using a Java 1.5 compiler and compile the classes just fine. I recommend
against overloading the meaning of the "source" compiler flag to refer to Java
API rather than the language features it is narrowly meant to re
Well, that is true as far as the Java Language spec goes. However, there is
now a class that will only compile if JDK 1.6 is available as the classes
are new to that release. So yes, even though the source code is 1.5
compatible it still would be good to let people know that they have to use
JDK 1.
Why would you need source=1.6? The only binary incompatibility between 1.5
and 1.6 that I'm aware of is that in 1.6 you can use @Override for overridden
methods of an interface where 1.5 you can't. What is it about Java 1.6 that
