The only intention was that we be able to compare against older runtimes
when needed. We could ask whether we care about how we currently
compare against 1.2 any more...? If we're really that curious, we can
either change the target and compile with an older compiler, or find an
older version of it (but that would be a little apples-to-oranges). In
any case, we'd have options for doing it even if they weren't as
convenient as just running it on an older jvm.
It's "convenience and need" vs. "what's possible" and right now "need"
is probably a very small value (for <1.5) and "what's possible" just
changed...

Perhaps we have to make that the default but add a comment that since this
is bundled with JDK 9 it must use at least a 1.6 target but the
intention is
that it be able to be compiled with and targeted to, earlier JDKs
BTW I guess dest->dist is OK but I imagine Jim really did mean "dest"

Hello, Phil.
jdk 9 now supports "-target 1.6+/-source 1.6+" options only. Looks
like we should use this minimum version too.
If you have no objections I'll prepare the new version of the fix

Hmm .. the thing here is that I know that Jim was very keen that this
benchmark always be runnable on JDK 1.2
Deleting the comment to that effect and setting source level to 1.5
goes against this.
What is the rationale, and why can't it be reverted to be able to
build on 1.4 and run
on 1.2 ? If it uses JDK 1.5 language features, just back them out. If
it uses JDK 1.5
APIs then maybe Jim had to handle something similar and has an idea ?
