Noel, You have continued to say that simply changing the byte code does nothing. Even if we accept that, the issue remains that there are functional differences between the current feature set represented by J2SE 5.0 targeted bytecode and the current feature set that JDK SE 7 is configured to

David, Yes! I will happily work with your JDK 7 based build with Java 7 bytecode to see if that restores the JAB function Oracle clobbered when they moved Java Access Bridge into the base JRE at 1.7u6. Thanks for the history... Can't fault Tor's work on fixing the compiler java_target_version
