JRE 1.6 runtime on 1.4 code

796386Aug 21 2009 — edited Aug 24 2009

Ok,
It's possible to run JDK 1.4 compiled code on a 1.6 JRE.
However, what I am wondering is there any problems if the code (which is compiled with 1.4) has the word "enum" used everywhere as a variable name?
Now this obviously won't compile with 1.6 but it seems to run ok with a 1.6 JRE?

Are my missing something?

Cheers.
