I've seen a lot of discussion about source code compatibility between
JDK versions. That all seems straight forward. I also know that, if
source code written to the 1.4 standard is compiled is with the JDK 1.5
compiler the result can't be run in a 1.4 JVM.
However, what about forward bytecode compatibility. Can code compiled
with the JDK 1.4 compiler be run in a 1.5 or 1.6 JVM?
