R: R: R: Checking Java version?

Sheee...!!! You're right!!! I got this wrong!!!

You _can_ compile with 1.5 and run with 1.4 _only_ if you
don't use any 1.5 specific construct (like generics).

I never used any of those and so I never had to care 
about source and target versions.

I remember an old article about Java 1.5 where they said
it was possibile to use new construct because they're only
"sintactic sugar", but it seems I remember wrong...

Sorry for the confusion!!!

Paolo Rizzi
