No, that's not right either.

The code in the example compiles with BOTH - JDK 1.4 and JDK 1.5.

But the generated bytecode is different:

- compiled with JDK 1.5, the method StringBuffer.append(CharSequence) is
called. (No matter, whether "-target 1.4" has been used, or not)
- compiled with JDK 1.4, the method StringBuffer.append(Object) is called.
