jEdit

I was going through the console source as well. There thing I would suggest
(Slava is maintainer) is to add a "None" to the target field. When set it
would not pass a "-target" flag and then users of JDK 1.5 can run things
without problems.

This would change the target code to:

if(!target.equals("None"))
{
    buf.append(" -target ");
    buf.append(target);
}

Or some such thing.  :-)

I ended up putting a "1.5" option in the target and recompiling the
Console.jar. Works like a charm.  :-)

Test with autobox.java:

public class autobox {
    /**

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // automatically convert one type to another
        Integer integer = 1;
        System.out.println(integer);

        // mix Integer and ints in the same expression
        int i = integer + 3;
        System.out.println(i);
    }
