Thanks for the feedback guys. My only real exposure to java has been javascript, and as such I guess I was thinking of it as an interpreted language, and therefore probably backwards compatible. But reading your responses I guess I "knew" java was a compiled language too, which would understandably have problems if the compile-time environment was not available...

Subject: Re: Java Overload? Are all of these really necessary?


There are some programs that are compiled for Java 1.4
that won't run in Java 5 or 6 and vice a versa, so hang on to these
things, you may need them.
