After all, the 1.5 compiler compiles your code exactly as you intended, and the 1.4 compiler produces a clear errormessage. The bytecode produced by the 1.5 compiler would even have run on the 1.4 JVM.
Lesson learned is that code using 1.5′s new language features does not compile on a 1.4 compiler – hardly supprising. Your story demonstrates that one can be using such a feature (auto-boxing) without being aware of it!
