Will JVM throw exception when it runs classes compiled with a JDK that has same major version but higher minor version compared to JVM ?
The JDK version does not really matter, the class file format version does. So far, the minor version of the class file format hasn’t been used, and changes in the major version have always corresponded with major JDK release (counting 1.2 -> 1.3 -> 1.4 as major releases).
Additionally, the
-targetoption ofjavaccan be used to produce class files compatible with older runtimes.
