Message: [QUOTE="timjowers, post: 2955487"] FWIW, I decided on the exploit of compiler optimization. The technique is to create unreachable code with as if(false) and put your Java 5 code there. Make that block reachable to compile in Java 5. E.g. boolean JAVA_5_PLUS = false; // Java by design lacks conditional compilation so various workarounds // are to comment out code, use a custom preprocessor (see Munge from the Swing team), // or use if( false ) or such blocks (which are normally not compiled due to optimizing them out.) if( JAVA_5_PLUS ) start = System.nanoTime(); else start = System.currentTimeMillis(); TimJowers [/QUOTE]
