This and some other posts are warnings for Java developers that using features not enforced by the Java spec is a bad practice. It was clearly stated in this post

For the truth to be told, some (popular) Java components are written so as to work only with certain Java implementations. I believe it?s a bad practice that will strike back, sooner or later.

Note, however, that the code of third-party components used by the application is not always under developer’s control. In general, we are reluctant to implement such workarounds but making things work is sometimes more important from the business perspective.

Take care,
–Vitaly
