-	Did you ever write an application against one version of [[~~wikipedia::JDK\|~~Java]] just to find out that it does not work with newer version? I guess everyone faced that situation, however did you ever faced that with your library? Did you change nothing in your library, yet your customers complain that their code using your library classes does not run or even compile with newer version of [[~~wikipedia::JDK\|~~Java]]? I guess some of us have been in such situation. This is an inevitable impact caused not only by [[~~wikipedia::JDK\|~~Java]] but by cooperating with any ~~APIs~~ created by others. [[Cooperating with Other APIs\|Chapter 10]] analyses why we have problems when working with foreign APIs and suggest strategies to deal with such situations.	+	Did you ever write an application against one version of [[Java]] just to find out that it does not work with newer version?

-	Talk to Tim, this is his sentence. As far as I can say, we have "Zahnat se do kouta" - chase yourself into a corner. Which is also a non-sense as you cannot chase yourself. But still it is widely used here and has the right meaning of doing wrong mistakes yourself that you are then sorry for.
