JAR file built using JDK1.4 will run in JDK 1.5 Environment?

Hi All,

I have one basic question, can any one answer for this....

We have an existing java application in jar file which is complied using JDK 1.4. Is it possible to use the same JAR file in JDK 1.5 environment.

I cant able to test this in my local PC, since it is a production application.

Thanks in advance...

Should be fine. There are some problems between 1.3 and 1.4, but 1.4 to 1.5 should not throw up anything.

One corner-case that almost certainly won't come up, but might, is where a pre-1.5 developer has rolled their own typesafe enums, and used the word 'enum' somewhere you might need to refer to, such as a package or field name. That's now a keyword since 1.5. Bit us solidly on the butt, apparently (before I got here), since one of our third-party vendors did exactly that
