The Java platforms are not as far apart as Sun Microsystems might believe.
As far as a virtual machine is concerned, bytecode is bytecode. The beauty
of the Java virtual machine architecture is its independence from class
design. Most of a Java "platform" comes from rt.jar or classes.zip.

For example, I should be able to plug classes.zip from JDK 1.1.6 into
decaf. I can run all my applications that depend on that. Then, I can
switch to classes.zip from JDK 1.1.8. I can run all my application that
depend on that.

Bytecode is bytecode. How much bytecode you put in your custom classes.zip
is up to you.
