Yep, there is definitely that risk... A good practice might be to have a QA box set up that matches your deployment software configuration (say 10.5.8 and 1.5.x), and run the build that you are going to test and deploy using that box. That can help mitigate a lot of that risk. The best practice would of course be to match your development JDK and OS to your deployment JDK and OS, if it's practical to do so.

But doesn't that still compile using the 1.6 SDK since Snow Leopard doesn't have 1.5? Or is Java 1.6 able to compile to a 1.5 compatible byte code representation?
Yeah, javac and Eclipse's compiler can both generate 1.5 compatible binaries. I suspect it can't tell if you use 1.6 _API_, but it won't let you use 1.6 source features.
