Hello
As of revision 572698 DRLVM should not throw UnsupportedClassVersion
when it sees a class file compiled with Java6 compiler (or with -target
1.6 by ECJ 3.3). These class files should work with no problems with DRLVM.
Sould we create a java6 branch for DRL VM (as we did for classlib) and
move your update to the branch?
I don't think this deserves a real branch. The fact that VM accepts
classes of version 50 doesn't mean it is Java6 compliant. It also
doesn't make it non-Java5 VM in any way.
On the other hand, if we make changes like in [1] it may break
compatibility with older Java5 code, and in such case we'll maybe want
to create a separate branch.

For testing I used classlib (trunk) compiled with ECJ 3.3 with -source
1.6 -target 1.6 and all VM acceptance tests compiled with Sun's javac
from JDK 6.0.
