- toyg 8y agoBackwards-compatible only means you can run old code on new VMs, with the correct target flags; it doesn't say anything about mixing new and old code.
- akerro 8y agoA lot of stuff like ant/maven, other build tools, plugins, libraries broke due to hardening in JVM that puts a lot of more restrictions on reflection.
