JRE's backward/forward compatibility

843798Oct 23 2007 — edited May 12 2008

Hi all.

Asume that I have an application that is well tested under JRE 1.4.12.
Will it also run without problems on a machine where JRE 1.6.3 (for example) is installed, or should my application be tested over and over again, on each JRE????

(I asume not, but I ask this to be sure)...

And about compatibilty in the other sense, I asume that my application (developed and well tested under JRE 1.4.12 will NOT run correctly under for exeample JRE 1.3.12)...

Can someone answer?
And, if does anyone of you have interesting articles, links or whatever about this ???

Thanks
