Differences between jre

843798Oct 16 2008 — edited Oct 17 2008

Hi everyone,

I have a few questions, I want to know what are the differences between the different JREs: For example JRE1.6_4 verses JRE 1.5_4.
I am currently developing an application using Eclipse 3.4 IDE but our systems are not supporting the latest JRE, they are supporting JRE1.5_4. If I develop my application using JRE 1.6_4 but compile it in 1.5, is it the same or better than building it in JRE 1.5_4 and compiling it in 1.5 ?? And will the compile jar from 1.6_4 work on 1.5_4 ??

Thanks in advanced, and any help would be appreciated..
