I have not really dealt with the different versions of Java, but I can tell 
you the CLR does not really have this problem. The Compact Framework, is a 
subset of the normal framework, simply missing functions and classes, not 
different names or namespaces.

I was also not really referring to the different versions, but different 
runtime profiles (specifically as mentioned in the appendix of the CLR spec, 
EMCA 335).
