But doesn't icedtea by default generate byte-code targeted to a later
version than gij can handle ? i.e...

[caolan at Jehannum ~]$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea/bin/javac \
  findhome.java 
[caolan at Jehannum ~]$ gij findhome
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: findhome
(unrecognized class file version)

[caolan at Jehannum ~]$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea/bin/javac \
  -target 1.5 findhome.java 
[caolan at Jehannum ~]$ gij findhome
all ok
