If you search the Sun site for "javac target source" you'll find some
interesting discussion regarding this topic.  The documentation
suggests that the -target option be accompanied by other options,
namely, -bootclasspath and -extdirs.  This could be contributing to
the problems I'm seeing.

Thanks,
Tom
