The issue is that you compiled it with too high target:
   java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number  
in .class file

We only support JDK 1.5. Please use -target 1.5 when compiling your  
class files (they seem to not require 1.6 at all).

No, it's not -- the "Not run" is just your comment, it has no  
influence on the examples.

See above.
