If i build an mxj class on my snowleopard machine and distribute it in a standalone to someone with a tiger or leopard machine should that class work or does the different java version installed mean it wont? any way to make it compatible? At the moment i get errors like this:

you can compile your java files to target java 5. the command line argument to javac is actually just 

. most build tools (ant, eclipse) have a way to specify this as well.
