Hi Hans,
This is exactly what I meant. Thanks for confirming that it has worked
this time on JDK 1.3. The question I'm still uncertain of is whether it
is possible that JDK 1.5, with -target 1.3 but it's own rt.jar, would
ever generate bytecode that won't work on 1.3, even if the source itself
would have compiled as is on 1.3. I can't think of such a case, but
Stephen raised it as a potential issue and I'm hoping he can clarify if
that's what he meant with an example.

Well, targeting the 1.3 class file definition won't prevent it from using
the rt.jar in your 1.5 JDK... thus possible compiling against an API that is
in 1.3. In fact, this is not the case and I tried it... but just pointing it
out.
