See HARMONY-6317 It will load some class files compiled for 1.6. For instance, if I compile classlib with hy.javac.{source,target}=1.6 then it runs eclipse. Do you think we should hold off releasing any 6.0 milestones until the VM supports all 1.6 features? If no one is planning to implement these we might not make any 6.0 releases for a rather long time and so the 6.0 classlib code wont get released/exercised? I'm fine if we decide not to make a release now but we should decide exactly what the "must have" features are for milestone 1. -Mark.
